sent us to destroy it.

(14) And Lot went out, and spoke to
his sons-in-law who had married his daughters, and said, Rise up, and
depart out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city; but
he seemed to be speaking absurdly before his sons-in-law.

the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians

anointed him.

(33) And they brought a horror of that
land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land
which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants;
and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after the
death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the
minister of Moses, saying,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Moses my servant is dead; now then
arise, go over Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land, which I
give them.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Every spot on which ye shall tread
I will give it to you, as I said to Moses.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) The wilderness and Antilibanus, as
far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity
of the sea; your costs shall be from the setting of the sun.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Not a man shall stand against you
all the days of thy life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with
thee, and I will not fail thee, or neglect thee.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Be strong and ‘quit thyself like a
man, for thou shalt divide the land to this people, which I sware to give
to your fathers.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Be strong, therefore, and quit
thyself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded thee;
and thou shalt not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that
thou mayest be wise in whatsoever thou mayest do.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the book of this law shall not
depart out of thy mouth, and thou shalt meditate in it day and night,
that thou mayest know how to do all the things that are written in it;
then shalt thou prosper, and make thy ways prosperous, and then shalt
thou be wise.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Lo! I have commanded thee; be
strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord thy God
is with thee in all places whither thou goest.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Joshua commanded the scribes
of the people, saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Go into the midst of the camp of
the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet
three days and ye shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take
possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to
the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Remember the word which Moses the
servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused
you to rest, and has given you this land.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Let your wives and your children
and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and ye shall
go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong;
and ye shall fight on their side;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) until the Lord your God shall
have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have
inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then ye shall
depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan
eastward.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And they answered Joshua and
said, We will do all things which thou commandest us, and we will go to
every place whither thou shalt send us.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Whereinsoever we hearkened to
Moses we will hearken to thee; only let the Lord our God be with thee, as
he was with Moses.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And whosoever shall disobey thee,
and whosoever shall not hearken to thy words as thou shalt command him,
let him die; but be thou strong and courageous.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Joshua the son of Naue sent
out of Sattin two young men to spy the land, saying, Go up and view the
land and Jericho: and the two young men went and entered into Jericho;
and they entered into the house of a harlot, whose name was Raab, and
lodged there.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And it was reported to the king of
Jericho, saying, Men of the sons of Israel have come in hither to spy the
land.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the king of Jericho sent and
spoke to Raab, saying, Bring out the men that entered into thine house
this night; for they are come to spy out the land.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the woman took the two men and
hid them; and she spoke to the messengers, saying, The men came in to me,
(ⲉ̅)
(5) but when the gate was shut in the
evening, the men went out; I know not whither they are gone: follow after
them, if ye may overtake them.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) But she had brought them up upon
the house, and hid them in the flax-stalks that were spread by her on the
house.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the men followed after them in
the way to Jordan to the fords; and the gate was shut.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And it came to pass when the men
who pursued after them were gone forth, and before the spies had lain
down to sleep, that she came up to them on the top of the house;
(ⲑ̅)
(9) and she said to them, I know that
the Lord has given you the land; for the fear of you has fallen upon us.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For we have heard that the Lord
God dried up the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of the land of
Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were
beyond Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And when we heard it we were
amazed in our heart, and there was no longer any spirit in any of us
because of you, for the Lord your god is God in heaven above, and on the
earth beneath.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And now swear to me by the Lord
God; since I deal mercifully with you, so do ye also deal mercifully with
the house of my father:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) and save alive the house of my
father, my mother, and my brethren, and all my house, and all that they
have, and ye shall rescue my soul from death.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the men said to her, Our life
for yours even to death: and she said, When the Lord shall have delivered
the city to you, ye shall deal mercifully and truly with me.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And she let them down by the
window;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) and she said to them, Depart into
the hill-country, lest the pursuers meet you, and ye shall be hidden
there three days until your pursuers return from after you, and
afterwards ye shall depart on your way.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the men said to her, We are
clear of this thy oath.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Behold, we shall enter into a
part of the city, and thou shalt set a sign; thou shalt bind this scarlet
cord in the window, by which thou hast let us down, and thou shalt bring
in to thyself, into thy house, thy father, and thy mother, and thy
brethren, and all the family of thy father.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And it shall come to pass that
whosoever shall go outside the door of thy house, his guilt shall be upon
him, and we shall be quit of this thine oath; and we will be responsible
for all that shall be found with thee in thy house.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) But if any one should injure us,
or betray these our matters, we shall be quit of this thine oath.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And she said to them, Let it be
according to your word; and she sent them out, and they departed.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And they came to the
hill-country, and remained there three days; and the pursuers searched
all the roads, and found them not.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the two young men returned,
and came down out of the mountain; and they went over to Joshua the son
of Naue, and told him all things that had happened to them.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And they said to Joshua, The Lord
has delivered all the land into our power, and all the inhabitants of
that land tremble because of us.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Joshua rose up early in the
morning, and departed from Sattin; and they came as far as Jordan, and
lodged there before they crossed over.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And it came to pass after three
days, that the scribes went through the camp;
(ⲅ̅)
(3) and they charged the people,
saying, When ye shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord our God,
and our priests and the Levites bearing it, ye shall depart from your
places, and ye shall go after it.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) But let there be a distance
between you and it; ye shall stand as much as two thousand cubits from
it. Do not draw nigh to it, that ye may know the way which ye are to go;
for ye have not gone the way before.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Joshua said to the people,
Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, for to-morrow the Lord will do
wonders among you.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Joshua said to the priests,
Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and go before the people:
and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and went
before the people.

tents to cross over Jordan, and the priests bore the ark of the covenant
of the Lord before the people.

(15) And when the priests that bore
the ark of the covenant of the Lord entered upon Jordan, and the feet of
the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were dipped in
part of the water of Jordan; (now Jordan overflowed all its banks about
the time of wheat harvest:)

(16) then the waters that came down
from above stopped; there stood one solid heap very far off, as far as
the region of Kariathiarim, and the lower part came down to the sea of
Araba, the salt sea, till it completely failed; and the people stood
opposite Jericho.

(17) And the priests that bore the ark
of the covenant of the Lord stood on dry land in the midst of Jordan; and
all the children of Israel went through on dry land, until all the people
had completely gone over Jordan.

(1) And when the people had completely

(ⲉ̅) ⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯ

(5) said to them, Advance before me in
the presence of the Lord into the midst of Jordan, and each having taken
up a stone from thence, let him carry it on his shoulders, according to
the number of the twelve tribes of Israel:

(7) then thou mayest explain to thy
son, saying, The river Jordan was dried up from before the ark of the
covenant of the Lord of the whole earth, when it passed it: and these
stones shall be for a memorial for you for the children of Israel for
ever.

(8) And the children of Israel did so,
as the Lord commanded Joshua; and they took up twelve stones out of the
midst of Jordan, (as the Lord commanded Joshua, when the children of
Israel had completely passed over,)and carried these stones with them
into the camp, and laid them down there.

(9) And Joshua set also other twelve
stones in Jordan itself, in the place that was under the feet of the
priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and there they are
to this day.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the priests that bore the ark
of the covenant stood in Jordan, until Joshua had finished all that the
Lord commanded him to report to the people; and the people hasted and
passed over.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And it came to pass when all the
people had passed over, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord passed
over, and the stones before them.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the sons of Ruben, and the
sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse passed over armed before the
children of Israel, as Moses commanded them.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Forty thousand armed for battle
went over before the Lord to war, to the city of Jericho.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) In that day the Lord magnified
Joshua before all the people of Israel; and they feared him, as they did
Moses, as long as he lived.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the Lord spoke to Joshua,
saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Charge the priests that bear the
ark of the covenant of the testimony of the Lord, to go up out of Jordan.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Joshua charged the priests,
saying, Go up out of Jordan.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And it came to pass when the
priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were gone up out of
Jordan, and set their feet upon the land, that the water of Jordan
returned impetuously to its place, and went as before over all its banks.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the people went up out of
Jordan on the tenth day of the first month; and the children of Israel
encamped in Galgala in the region eastward from Jericho.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Joshua set these twelve
stones which he took out of Jordan, in Galgala,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) saying, When your sons ask you,
saying, What are these stones?
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Tell your sons, that Israel went
over this Jordan on dry land,
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) when the Lord our God had dried
up the water of Jordan from before them, until they had passed over; as
the Lord our God did to the Red Sea, which the Lord our God dried up from
before us, until we passed over.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) That all the nations of the earth
might know, that the power of the Lord is mighty, and that ye might
worship the Lord our God in every work.
5
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass when the kings
of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia
by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before
the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed,
and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense in them because of
the children of Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And about this time the Lord said
to Joshua, Make thee stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and
circumcise the children of Israel the second time.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Joshua made sharp knives of
stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the
"Hill of Foreskins."
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And this is the way in which
Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way,
and as many as were uncircumcised of them that came out of Egypt,
(ⲉ̅)
(5) all these Joshua circumcised; for
forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Wherefore most of the fighting men
that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the
commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not
see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, even a land
flowing with milk and honey.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And in their place he raised up
their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised,
having been born by the way.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And when they had been circumcised
they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the Lord said to Joshua the
son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you:
and he called the name of that place Galgala.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the children of Israel kept
the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the
westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they ate of the grain of the
earth unleavened and new corn.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) In this day the manna failed,
after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel
no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the
Phoenicians in that year.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And it came to pass when Joshua
was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing
before him, and there was a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near
and said to him, Art thou for us or on the side of our enemies?
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he said to him, I am now
come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. (15) And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth,
and said to him, Lord, what commandest thou thy servant?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) And the captain of the Lord’s
host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe off thy feet, for the place whereon
thou now standest is holy.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now Jericho was closely shut up
and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Lord said to Joshua,
Behold, I deliver Jericho into thy power, and its king in it, and its
mighty men.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And do thou set the men of war
round about it.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it shall be that when ye shall
sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And when they have shouted, the
walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall
enter, each one rushing direct into the city.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Joshua the son of Naue went in
to the priests,
(ⲍ̅)
and spoke to them, saying, (8) Charge
the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war
pass on armed before the Lord.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) And let seven priests having seven
sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly;
and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And let the men of war proceed
before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the
covenant of the Lord proceed sounding the trumpets.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Joshua commanded the people,
saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself
declare to you the time to cry out, and then ye shall cry out.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the ark of the covenant of
God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged
there.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And on the second day Joshua rose
up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the
Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the seven priests bearing the
seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war
went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the
covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
(14) And all the rest of the multitude
compassed the city six times from within a short distance,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
and went back again into the camp; this they did six days.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And on the seventh day they rose
up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And it came to pass at the
seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the
children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the city shall be devoted, it
and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do ye save Raab
the harlot, and all things in her house.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) But keep yourselves strictly from
the accursed thing, lest ye set your mind upon and take of the accursed
thing, and ye make the camp of the children of Israel and accursed thing,
and destroy us.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And all the silver, or gold, or
brass, or iron, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall be carried into the
treasury of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the priests sounded with the
trumpets: and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people shouted
at once with a loud and strong shout; and all the wall fell round about,
and all the people went up into the city:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) and Joshua devoted it to
destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young
man and old, and calf and ass, with the edge of the sword.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Joshua said to the two young
men who had acted a spies, Go into the house of the woman, and bring her
out thence, and all that she has.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the two young men who had
spied out the city entered into the house of the woman, and brought out
Raab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and
her kindred, and all that she had; and they set her without the camp of
Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the city was burnt with fire
with all things that were in it; only of the silver, and gold, and brass,
and iron, they gave to be brought into the treasury of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Joshua saved alive Raab the
harlot, and all the house of her father, and caused her to dwell in
Israel until this day, because she hid the spies which Joshua sent to spy
out Jericho.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Joshua adjured them on that
day before the Lord, saying, Cursed be the man who shall build that city:
he shall lay the foundation of it in his first-born, and he shall set up
the gates of it in his youngest son. And so did Hozan of Baethel; he laid
the foundation in Abiron his first-born, and set up the gates of it in
his youngest surviving son.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And the Lord was with Joshua, and
his name was in all the land.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) But the children of Israel
committed a great trespass, and purloined part of the accursed thing; and
Achar the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri, the son of Zara, of the tribe
of Juda, took of the accursed thing; and the Lord was very angry with the
children of Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Joshua sent men to Gai, which
is by Baethel, saying, Spy out Gai: and the men went up and spied Gai.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And they returned to Joshua, and
said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three
thousand men go up and take the city by siege: carry not up thither the
whole people, for the enemy are few.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And there went up about three
thousand men, and they fled from before the men of Gai.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the men of Gai slew of them to
the number of thirty-six men, and they pursued them from the gate, and
destroyed them from the steep hill; and the heart of the people was
alarmed and became as water.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Joshua tore his garments; and
Joshua fell on the earth on his face before the Lord until evening, he
and the elders of Israel; and they cast dust on their heads.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Joshua said, I pray, Lord,
wherefore has thy servant brought this people over Jordan to deliver them
to the Amorite to destroy us? would we had remained and settled ourselves
beyond Jordan.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And what shall I say since Israel
has turned his back before his enemy?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And when the Chananite and all the
inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy
us from off the land: and what wilt thou do for thy great name?
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the Lord said to Joshua, Rise
up; why hast thou fallen upon thy face?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The people has sinned, and
transgressed the covenant which I made with them; they have stolen from
the cursed thing, and put it into their store.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the children of Israel will
not be able to stand before their enemies; they will turn their back
before their enemies, for they have become an accursed thing: I will not
any longer be with you, unless ye remove the cursed thing from
yourselves.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Rise, sanctify the people and
tell them to sanctify themselves for the morrow: thus says the Lord God
of Israel, The accursed thing is among you; ye shall not be able to stand
before your enemies, until ye shall have removed the cursed thing from
among you.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And ye shall all be gathered
together by your tribes in the morning, and it shall come to pass that
the tribe which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring by families; and the
family which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring by households; and the
household which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring man by man.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the man who shall be pointed
out, shall be burnt with fire, and all that he has; because he has
transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and has wrought wickedness in
Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Joshua rose up early, and
brought the people by their tribes; and the tribe of Juda was pointed
out.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And it was brought by their
families, and family of the Zaraites was pointed out.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And it was brought man by man,
and Achar the son of Zambri the son of Zara was pointed out.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Joshua said to Achar, Give
glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession; and tell
me what thou hast done, and hide it not from me.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Achar answered Joshua, and
said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: thus and thus
have I done:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) I saw in the spoil an embroidered
mantle, and two hundred didrachms of silver, and one golden wedge of
fifty didrachms, and I desired them and took them; and, behold, they are
hid in my tent, and the silver is hid under them.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Joshua sent messengers, and
they ran to the tent into the camp; and these things were hidden in his
tent, and the silver under them.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And they brought them out of the
tent, and brought them to Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they laid
them before the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Joshua took Achar the son of
Zara, and brought him to the valley of Achor, and his sons, and his
daughters, and his calves, and his asses, and all his sheep, and his
tent, and all his property, and all the people were with him; and he
brought them to Emec Achor.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Joshua said to Achar, Why
hast thou destroyed us? the Lord destroy thee as at this day. And all
Israel stoned him with stones.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And they set up over him a great
heap of stones; and the Lord ceased from his fierce anger. Therefore he
called the place Emecachor until this day.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear
not, nor be timorous: take with thee all the men of war, and arise, go up
to Gai; behold, I have given into thy hands the king of Gai, and his
land.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And thou shalt do to Gai, as thou
didst to Jericho and its king; and thou shalt take to thyself the spoil
of its cattle; set now for thyself an ambush for the city behind.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Joshua and all the men of war
rose to go up to Gai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men,
and he sent them away by night.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And he charged them, saying, Do ye
lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and ye shall
all be ready.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Land I and all with me will draw
near to the city: and it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Gai
shall come forth to meet us, as before, that we will flee from before
them.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And when they shall come out after
us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men
flee from before us, as also before.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And ye shall rise up out of the
ambuscade, and go into the city.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Ye shall do according to this
word, lo! I have commanded you.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Joshua sent them, and they
went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of
Gai.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Joshua rose up early in the
morning, and numbered the people; and he went up, he and the elders
before the people to Gai.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And all the men of war went up
with him, and they went forward and came over against the city eastward.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the ambuscade was on the west
side of the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And it came to pass when the king
of Gai saw it, he hasted and went out to meet them direct to the battle,
he and all the people that were with him: and he knew not that there was
an ambuscade formed against him behind the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Joshua and Israel saw, and
retreated from before them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And they pursued after the
children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) There was no one left in Gai who
did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued
after Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the Lord said to Joshua,
Stretch forth thy hand with the spear that is in thy hand toward the
city, for I have delivered it into thy hands; and the liers in wait shall
rise up quickly out of their place.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Joshua stretched out his hand
and his spear toward the city, and the ambuscade rose up quickly out of
their place; and they came forth when he stretched out his hand; and they
entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and burnt the city
with fire.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And when the inhabitants of Gai
looked round behind them, then they saw the smoke going up out of the
city to heaven, and they were no longer able to flee this way or that
way.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Joshua and all Israel saw
that the ambuscade had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city
went up to heaven; and they turned and smote the men of Gai.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And these came forth out of the
city to meet them; and they were in the midst of the army, some being on
this side, and some on that; and they smote them until there was not left
of them one who survived and escaped.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And they took the king of Gai
alive, and brought him to Joshua.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And when the children of Israel
had ceased slaying all that were in Gai, and in the fields, and in the
mountain on the descent, from whence they pursued them even to the end,
then Joshua returned to Gai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And they that fell in that day,
men and women, were twelve thousand: they slew all the inhabitants of
Gai.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) Beside the spoils that were in
the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for
themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded
Joshua.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Joshua burnt the city with
fire: he made it an uninhabited heap for ever, even to this day.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And he hanged the king of Gai on
a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun
went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree,
and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this
day.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when the kings of the Amorites
on the other side of Jordan, who were in the mountain country, and in the
plain, and in all the coast of the great sea, and those who were near
Antilibanus, and the Chettites, and the Chananites, and the Pherezites,
and the Evites, and the Amorites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites,
heard of it,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) they came all together at the same
time to make war against Joshua and Israel.
(ⲅ̅)
(30) Then Joshua built an alter to the
Lord God of Israel in mount Gebal,
(ⲇ̅)
(31) as Moses the servant of the Lord
commanded the children of Israel, as it was written in the law of Moses,
an alter of unhewn stones, on which iron had not been lifted up: and he
offered there whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, and a piece offering.
(ⲉ̅)
And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of
Moses, before the children of Israel.
(ⲋ̅)
(33) And all Israel, and their elders,
and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other,
before the ark; and the priests and the levites took up the ark of the
covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who
were half of them near mount Gebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord
commanded at first, to bless the people.
(ⲍ̅)
(34) And afterwards Joshua read
accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses,
according to all things written in the law of Moses.
(ⲏ̅)
(35) There was not a word of all that
Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all men, and
the women, and the children of Israel, and the strangers that joined
themselves to Israel.
(ⲑ̅)
(3) And the inhabitants of Gabaon
heard of all that the Lord did to Jericho and Gai.
(ⲓ̅)
(4) And they also wrought craftily,
and they went and made provision and prepared themselves; and having
taken old sacks on their shoulders, and old and rent and patched bottles
of wine,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(5) and the upper part of their shoes
and their sandals old and clouted on their feet, and their garments old
upon them—and the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy and
corrupt.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(6) And they came to Joshua into the
camp of Israel to Galgala, and said to Joshua and Israel, We are come
from a far land: now then make a covenant with us.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(7) And the children of Israel said to
the Chorrhaean, Peradventure thou dwellest amongst us; and how should I
make a covenant with thee?
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(8) And they said to Joshua, We are
thy servants: and Joshua said to them, Whence are ye, and whence have ye
come?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(9) And they said, Thy servants are
come from a very far country in the name of the Lord thy God: for we have
heard his name, and all that he did in Egypt,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(10) and all that he did to the kings
of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon king of the Amorites,
and Og king of Basan, who dwelt in Astaroth and in Edrain.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(11) And our elders and all that
inhabit our land when they heard spoke to us, saying, Take to yourselves
provision for the way, and go to meet them; and ye shall say to them, We
are thy servants, and now make a covenant with us.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(12) These are the loaves—we took them
hot for our journey on the day on which we came out to come to you; and
now they are dried and become mouldy.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(13) And these are the skins of wine
which we filled when new, and they are rent; and our garments and our
shoes are worn out because of the very long journey.
(ⲕ̅)
(14) And the chiefs took of their
provision, and asked not counsel of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(15) And Joshua made peace with them,
and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of
the congregation sware to them.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(16) And it came to pass three days
after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near
neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(17) And the children of Israel
departed and came to their cities; and their cities were Gabaon, and
Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(18) Land the children of Israel
fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord
God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(19) And the princes said to all the
congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we
shall not be able to touch them.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(20) This we will do; take them alive,
and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by
reason of the oath which we swore to them.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(21) They shall live, and shall be
hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the
princes said to them.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(22) And Joshua called them together
and said to them, Why have ye deceived me, saying, We live very far from
you; whereas ye are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell among us?
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(23) And now ye are cursed: there
shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water
to me and my God.
(ⲗ̅)
(24) And they answered Joshua, saying,
It was reported to us what the Lord thy God charged his servant Moses, to
give you this land, and to destroy us and all that dwelt on it from
before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and
therefore we did this thing.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(25) And now, behold, we are in your
power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems good to you.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(26) Aand they did so to them; and
Joshua rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of
Israel, and they did not slay them.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(27) And Joshua made them in that day
hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for
the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gabaon became hewers of
wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for
the place which the Lord should choose.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when Adoni-bezec king of
Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Gai, and had destroyed it, as he
did to Jericho and its king, even so they did to Gai and its king, and
that the inhabitants of Gabaon had gone over to Joshua and Israel;
(ⲃ̅)
(2) then they were greatly terrified
by them, for the king knew that Gabaon was a great city, as one of the
chief cities, and all its men were mighty.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) So Adoni-bezec king of Jerusalem
sent to Elam king of Hebron, and to Phidon king of Jerimuth, and to
Jephtha king of Lachis, and to Dabin king of Odollam, saying,
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Come up hither to me, and help me,
and let us take Gabaon; for the Gabaonites have gone over to Joshua and
to the children of Israel.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the five kings of the
Jebusites went up, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron, and
the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of Odollam,
they and all their people; and encamped around Gabaon, and besieged it.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the inhabitants of Gabaon sent
to Joshua into the camp to Galgala, saying, Slack not thy hands from thy
servants: come up quickly to us, and help us, and rescue us; for all the
kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country are gathered together
against us.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Joshua went up from Galgala,
he and all the people of war with him, every one mighty in strength.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear
them not, for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not one
of them be left before you.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And when Joshua came suddenly upon
them, he had advanced all the night out of Galgala.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the Lord struck them with
terror before the children of Israel; and the Lord destroyed them with a
great slaughter at Gabaon; and they pursued them by the way of the going
up of Oronin, and they smote them to Azeca and to Makeda.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And when they fled from the face
of the children of Israel at the descent of Oronin, then the Lord cast
upon them hailstones from heaven to Azeca; and they were more that died
by the hailstones, than those whom the children of Israel slew with the
sword in the battle.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in
the day in which the Lord delivered the Amorite into the power of Israel,
when he destroyed them in Gabaon, and they were destroyed from before the
children of Israel: and Joshua said, Let the sun stand over against
Gabaon, and the moon over against the valley of Ælon.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the sun and the moon stood
still, until God executed vengeance on their enemies; and the sun stood
still in the midst of heaven; it did not proceed to set till the end of
one day.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And there was not such a day
either before or after, so that God should hearken to a man, because the
Lord fought on the side of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And these five kings fled, and
hid themselves in a cave that is in Makeda.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And it was told Joshua, saying,
The five kings have been found hid in the cave that is in Makeda.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Joshua said, Roll stones to
the mouth of the cave, and set men to watch over them.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) But do not ye stand, but pursue
after your enemies, and attack the rear of them, and do not suffer them
to enter into their cities; for the Lord our God has delivered them into
our hands.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And it came to pass when Joshua
and all Israel ceased destroying them utterly with a very great
slaughter, that they that escaped took refuge in the strong cities.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And all the people returned safe
to Joshua to Makeda; and no one of the children of Israel murmured with
his tongue.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Joshua said, Open the cave,
and bring out these five kings out of the cave.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And they brought out the five
kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron,
and the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of
Odollam.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And when they brought them out to
Joshua, then Joshua called together all Israel, and the chiefs of the
army that went with him, saying to them, Come forward and set your feet
on their necks; and they came and set their feet on their necks.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Joshua said to them, Do not
fear them, neither be cowardly; be courageous and strong, for thus the
Lord will do to all your enemies, against whom ye fight.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Joshua slew them, and hanged
them on five trees; and they hung upon the trees until the evening.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And it came to pass toward the
setting of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the
trees, and cast them into the cave into which they had fled for refuge,
and rolled stones to the cave, which remain till this day.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And they took Makeda on that day,
and slew the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and they utterly
destroyed every living thing that was in it; and there was none left in
it that was preserved and had escaped; and they did to the king of
Makeda, as they did to the king of Jericho.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Joshua and all Israel with
him departed out of Makeda to Lebna, and besieged Lebna.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And the Lord delivered it into
the hands of Israel: and they took it, and its king, and slew the
inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and every thing breathing in it;
and there was not left in it any that survived and escaped; and they did
to its king, as they did to the king of Jericho.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Joshua and all Israel with
him departed from Lebna to Lachis, and he encamped about it, and besieged
it.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And the Lord delivered Lachis
into the hands of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and they
put the inhabitants to death with the edge of the sword, and utterly
destroyed it, as they had done to Lebna.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) Then Elam the king of Gazer went
up to help Lachis; and Joshua smote him and his people with the edge of
the sword, until there was not left to him one that was preserved and
escaped.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Joshua and all Israel with
him departed from Lachis to Odollam, and he besieged it and took it.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And the Lord delivered it into
the hand of Israel; and he took it on that day, and slew the inhabitants
with the edge of the sword, and slew every thing breathing in it, as they
did to Lachis.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And Joshua and all Israel with
him departed to Chebron, and encamped about it.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And he smote it with the edge of
the sword, and all the living creatures that were in it; there was no one
preserved: they destroyed it and all things in it, as they did to
Odollam.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And Joshua and all Israel
returned to Dabir; and they encamped about it;
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) and they took it, and its king,
and its villages: and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and they
destroyed it, and every thing breathing in it; and they did not leave in
it any one that was preserved: as they did to Chebron and her king, so
they did to Dabir and her king.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And Joshua smote all the land of
the hill country, and Nageb and the plain country, and Asedoth, and her
kings, they did not leave of them one that was saved: and they utterly
destroyed every thing that had the breath of life, as the Lord God of
Israel commanded,
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) from Cades Barne to Gaza, all
Gosom, as far as Gabaon.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And Joshua smote, once for all,
all their kings, and their land, because the Lord God of Israel fought on
the side of Israel.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when Jabis the king of Asor
heard, he sent to Jobab king of Maron, and to the king of Symoon, and to
the king of Aziph,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) and to the kings who were by the
great Sidon, to the hill country and to Araba opposite Keneroth, and to
the plain, and to Phenaeddor,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) and to the Chananites on the coast
eastward, and to the Amorites on the coast, and the Chettites, and the
Pherezites, and the Jebusites in the mountain, and the Evites, and those
dwelling under mount Aermon in the land Massyma.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they and their kings with them
went forth, as the sand of the sea in multitude, and horses, and very
many chariots.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And all the kings assembled in
person, and came to the same place, and encamped at the waters of Maron
to war with Israel.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the Lord said to Joshua, Be
not afraid of them, for to-morrow at this time I will put them to flight
before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots
with fire
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Joshua and all the men of war
came upon them at the water of Maron suddenly; and they attacked them in
the hill country.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the Lord delivered them into
the power of Israel; and they smote them and pursued them to great Sidon,
and to Maseron, and to the plains of Massoch eastward; and they destroyed
them till there was not one of them left that survived.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Joshua did to them, as the
Lord commanded him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots
with fire.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Joshua returned at that time,
and took Asor and her king; now Asor in former time was the chief of
these kingdoms.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they slew with the sword all
that breathed in it, and utterly destroyed them all, and there was no
living thing left in it; and they burnt Asor with fire.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Joshua took all the cities of
the kingdoms, and their kings, and slew them with the edge of the sword;
and utterly slew them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) But all the walled cities Israel
burnt not; but Israel burnt Asor only.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the children of Israel took
all its spoils to themselves; and they slew all the men with the edge of
the sword, until he destroyed them; they left not one of them breathing.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) As the Lord commanded his servant
Moses, even so Moses commanded Joshua; and so Joshua did, he transgressed
no precept of all that Moses commanded him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Joshua took all the hill
country, and all the land of Nageb, and all the land of Gosom, and the
plain country, and that toward the west, and the mountain of Israel and
the low country by the mountain;
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) from the mountain of Chelcha, and
that which goes up to Seir, and as far as Balagad, and the plains of
Libanus, under mount Aermon; and he took all their kings, and destroyed,
and slew them.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And for many days Joshua waged
war with these kings.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And there was no city which
Israel took not; they took all in war.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) For it was of the Lord to harden
their hearts to go forth to war against Israel, that they might be
utterly destroyed, that mercy should not be granted to them, but that
they should be utterly destroyed, as the Lord said to Moses.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Joshua came at that time, and
utterly destroyed the Enakim out of the hill country, from Chebron and
from Dabir, and from Anaboth, and from all the race of Israel, and from
all the mountain of Juda with their cities; and Joshua utterly destroyed
them.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) There was not any one left of the
Enakim by the children of Israel, only there was left of them in Gaza,
and in Gath, and in Aseldo.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Joshua took all the land, as
the Lord commanded Moses; and Joshua gave them for an inheritance to
Israel by division according to their tribes; and the land ceased from
war.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And these are the kings of the
land, whom the children of Israel slew, and inherited their land beyond
Jordan from the east, from the valley of Arnon to the mount of Aermon,
and all the land of Araba on the east.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Seon king of the Amorites, who
dwelt in Esebon, ruling from Arnon, which is in the valley, on the side
of the valley, and half of Galaad as far as Jaboc, the borders of the
children of Ammon.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Araba as far as the sea of
Chenereth eastward, and as far as the sea of Araba; the salt sea eastward
by the way to Asimoth, from Thaeman under Asedoth Phasga.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Og king of Basan, who dwelt in
Astaroth and in Edrain, was left of the giants
(ⲉ̅)
(5) ruling from mount Aermon and from
Secchai, and over all the land of Basan to the borders of Gergesi, and
Machi, and the half of Galaad of the borders of Seon king of Esebon.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Moses the servant of the Lord and
the children of Israel smote them; and Moses gave them by way of
inheritance to Ruben, and Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And these are the kings of the
Amorites, whom Joshua and the children of Israel slew beyond Jordan by
the sea of Balagad in the plain of Libanus, and as far as the mountain of
Chelcha, as men go up to Seir: and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel
to inherit according to their portion;
(ⲏ̅)
(8) in the mountain, and in the plain,
and in Araba, and in Asedoth, and in the wilderness, and Nageb; the
Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the
Evite, and the Jebusite.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The king of Jericho, and the king
of Gai, which is near Baethel;
(ⲓ̅)
(10) the king of Jerusalem, the king
of Chebron,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) the king of Jerimuth, the king of
Lachis;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) the king of Ælam, the king of
Gazer;
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) the king of Dabir, the king of
Gader:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) the king of Hermath, the king of
Ader;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) the king of Lebna, the king of
Odollam,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) the king of Elath,
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) the king of Taphut, the king of
Opher,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) the king of Ophec of Aroc,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) the king of Asom,
(ⲕ̅)
(20) the king of Symoon, the king of
Mambroth, the king of Aziph,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) the king of Cades,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
the king of Zachac, (22) the king of
Maredoth, the king of Jecom of Chermel,
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) the king of Odollam belonging to
Phennealdor, the king of Gei of Galilee:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) the king of Thersa: all these
were twenty-nine kings.
13
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Joshua was old and very
advanced in years; and the Lord said to Joshua, Thou art advanced in
years, and there is much land left to inherit.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And this is the land that is left:
the borders of the Phylistines, the Gesirite, and the Chananite,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) from the wilderness before Egypt,
as far as the borders of Accaron on the left of the Chananites the land
is reckoned to the five principalities of the Phylistines, to the
inhabitant of Gaza, and of Azotus, and of Ascalon, and of Geth, and of
Accaron, and to the Evite;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) from Thaeman even to all the land
of Chanaan before Gaza, and the Sidonians as far as Aphec, as far as the
borders of the Amorites.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And all the land of Galiath of the
Phylistines, and all Libanus eastward from Galgal, under the mountain
Aermon as far as the entering in of Emath;
(ⲋ̅)
(6) every one that inhabits the hill
country from Libanus as far as Masereth Memphomaim. All the Sidonians, I
will destroy them from before Israel; but do thou give them by
inheritance to Israel, as I charged thee.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And now divide this land by lot to
the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasse. (8) From Jordan to the great sea westward thou
shalt give it them: the great sea shall be the boundary.
(ⲏ̅)
But to the two tribes and to the half tribe of Manasse, to Ruben and to
Gad Moses gave an inheritance beyond Jordan: Moses the servant of the
Lord gave it to them eastward,
(ⲑ̅)
(9) from Aroer, which is on the bank
of the brook of Arnon, and the city in the midst of the valley, and all
Misor from Maedaban.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) All the cities of Seon king of
the Amorites, who reigned from Esebon to the coasts of the children of
Ammon;
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) and the region of Galaad, and the
borders of the Gesirites and the Machatites, the whole mount of Aermon,
and all the land of Basan to Acha.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) All the kingdom of Og in the
region of Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and in Edrain: he was left of
the giants; and Moses smote him, and destroyed him.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) But the children of Israel
destroyed not the Gesirite and the Machatite and the Chananite; and the
king of the Gesiri and the Machatite dwelt among the children of Israel
until this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Only no inheritance was given to
the tribe of Levi: the Lord God of Israel, he is their inheritance, as
the Lord said to them; and this is the division which Moses made to the
children of Israel in Araboth Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by
Jericho.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Moses gave the land to the
tribe of Ruben according to their families.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And their borders were from
Aroer, which is opposite the brook of Arnon, and theirs is the city that
is in the valley of Arnon; and all Misor,
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) to Esebon, and all the cities in
Misor, and Daebon, and Baemon-Baal, and the house of Meelboth;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and Basan, and Bakedmoth, and
Maephaad,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) and Kariathaim, and Sebama, and
Serada, and Sion in mount Enab;
(ⲕ̅)
(20) and Baethphogor, and Asedoth
Phasga, and Baetthasinoth,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) and all the cities of Misor, and
all the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, whom Moses smote, even him
and the princes of Madian, and Evi, and Roboc, and Sur, and Ur, and Robe
prince of the spoils of Sion, and the inhabitants of Sion.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Balaam the son of Baeor the
prophet they slew in the battle.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the borders of Ruben
were—even Jordan was the boundary; this is the inheritance of the
children of Ruben according to their families, these were their cities
and their villages.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Moses gave inheritance to the
sons of Gad according to their families.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And their borders were Jazer, all
the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon to
Araba, which is before Arad.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And from Esebon to Araboth by
Massepha, and Botanim, and Maan to the borders of Daebon,
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) and Enadom, and Othargai, and
Baenthanabra, and Soccotha, and Saphan, and the rest of the kingdom of
Sean king of Esebon: and Jordan shall be the boundary as far as part of
the sea of Chenereth beyond Jordan eastward.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) This is the inheritance of the
children of Gad according to their families and according to their
cities: according to their families they will turn their backs before
their enemies, because their cities and their villages were according to
their families.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Moses gave to half the tribe
of Manasse according to their families.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And their borders were from Maan,
and all the kingdom of Basan, and all the kingdom of Og king of Basan,
and all the villages of Jair, which are in the region of Basan, sixty
cities:
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) and the half of Galaad, and in
Astaroth, and in Edrain, royal cities of Og in the land of Basan, Moses
gave to the sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, even to the half-tribe
sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, according to their families.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) These are they whom Moses caused
to inherit beyond Jordan in Araboth Moab, beyond Jordan by Jericho
eastward.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And these are they of the children
of Israel that received their inheritance in the land of Chanaan, to whom
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the sonof Naue, and the heads of the
families of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave inheritance.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) They inherited according to their
lots, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Joshua to the nine tribes and
the half tribe, on the other side of Jordan.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But to the Levites he gave no
inheritance among them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For the sons of Joseph were two
tribes, Manasse and Ephraim; and there was none inheritance in the land
given to the Levites, only cities to dwell in, and their suburbs
separated for the cattle, and their cattle.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) As the Lord commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel; and they divided the land.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the children of Juda came to
Joshua in Galgal, and Chaleb the son of Jephone the Kenezite said to him,
Thou knowest the word that the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God
concerning me and thee in Cades Barne.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For I was forty years old when
Moses the servant of God sent me out of Cades Barne to spy out the land;
and I returned him an answer according to his mind.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) My brethren that went up with me
turned away the heart of the people, but I applied my self to follow the
Lord my God.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Moses sware on that day,
saying, The land on which thou art gone up, it shall be thy inheritance
and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast applied thyself to follow
the Lord our God.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And now the Lord has kept me
alive as he said: this is the forty-fifth year since the Lord spoke that
word to Moses; and Israel journeyed in the wilderness; and now, behold, I
am this day eighty-five years old.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) I am still strong this day, as
when the Lord sent me: just so strong am I now to go out and to come in
for war.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And now I ask of thee this
mountain, as the Lord said in that day; for thou heardest this word on
that day; and now the Enakim are there, cities great and strong: if then
the Lord should be with me, I will utterly destroy them, as the Lord said
to me.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Joshua blessed him, and gave
Chebron to Chaleb the son of Jephone the son of Kenez for an inheritance.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Therefore Chebron became the
inheritance of Chaleb the son of Jephone the Kenezite until this day,
because he followed the commandment of the Lord God of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the name of Chebron before
was the city Argob, it is the metropolis of the Enakim: and the land
rested from war.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the borders of the tribe of
Juda according to their families were from the borders of Idumea from the
wilderness of sin, as far as Cades southward.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And their borders were from the
south as far as a part of the salt sea from the high country that extends
southward.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And they proceed before the ascent
of Acrabin, and go out round Sena, and go up from the south to Cades
Barne; and go out to Asoron, and proceed up to Sarada, and go out by the
way that is west of Cades.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they go out to Selmona, and
issue at the valley of Egypt; and the termination of its boundaries shall
be at the sea: these are their boundaries southward.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And their boundaries eastward are
all the salt sea as far as Jordan; and their borders from the north, and
from the border of the sea, and from part of Jordan—
(ⲋ̅)
(6) the borders go up to Baethaglaam,
and they go along from the north to Baetharaba, and the borders go on up
to the stone of Baeon the son of Ruben.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the borders continue on to the
fourth part of the valley of Achor, and go down to Galgal, which is
before the approach of Adammin, which is southward in the valley, and
terminate at the water of the fountain of the sun; and their going forth
shall be the fountain of Rogel.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the borders go up to the
valley of Ennom, behind Jebus southward; this is Jerusalem: and the
borders terminate at the top of the mountain, which is before the valley
of Ennom toward the sea, which is by the side of the land of Raphain
northward.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the border going forth from
the top of the mountain terminates at the fountain of the water of
Naphtho, and terminates at mount Ephron; and the border will lead to
Baal; this is the city of Jarim.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the border will go round from
Baal to the sea, and will go on to the mount of Assar behind the city of
Jarin northwards; this is Chaslon: and it will come down to the city of
Sun, and will go on to the south.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the border terminates behind
Accaron northward, and the borders will terminate at Socchoth, and the
borders will go on to the south, and will terminate at Lebna, and the
issue of the borders will be at the sea; and their borders shall be
toward the sea, the great sea shall be the boundary.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) These are the borders of the
children of Juda round about according to their families.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And to Chaleb the son of Jephone
he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda by the command of
God; and Joshua gave him the city of Arboc the metropolis of Enac; this
is Chebron.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Chaleb the son of Jephone
destroyed thence the three sons of Enac, Susi, and Tholami, and Achima.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Chaleb went up thence to the
inhabitants of Dabir; and the name of Dabir before was the city of
Letters.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall
take and destroy the city of Letters, and master it, to him will I give
my daughter Ascha to wife.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Gothoniel the son of Chenez
the brother of Chaleb took it; and he gave him Ascha his daughter to
wife.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And it came to pass as she went
out that she counselled him, saying, I will ask of my father a field; and
she cried from off her ass; and Chaleb said to her, What is it?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And she said to him, Give me a
blessing, for thou hast set me in the land of Nageb; give me Botthanis:
and he gave her Gonaethla the upper, and Gonaethla the lower.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) This is the inheritance of the
tribe of the children of Juda.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And their cities were cities
belonging to the tribe of the children of Juda on the borders of Edom by
the wilderness, and Baeseleel, and Ara, and Asor,

(ⲝ̅ⲅ̅)
(63) And the Jebusite dwelt in
Jerusalem, and the children of Juda could not destroy them; and the
Jebusites dwelt in Jerusalem to this day.
16
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the borders of the children of
Joseph were from Jordan by Jericho eastward; and they will go up from
Jericho to the hill country, to the wilderness, to Baethel Luza.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And they will go out to Baethel,
and will proceed to the borders of Achatarothi.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And they will go across to the sea
to the borders of Aptalim, as far as the borders of Baethoron the lower,
and the going forth of them shall be to the sea.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the sons of Joseph, Ephraim
and Manasse, took their inheritance.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the borders of the children of
Ephraim were according to their families, and the borders of their
inheritance were eastward to Ataroth, and Eroc as far as Baethoron the
upper, and Gazara.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the borders will proceed to
the sea to Icasmon north of Therma; they will go round eastward to
Thenasa, and Selles, and will pass on eastward to Janoca,
(ⲍ̅)
(7) and to Macho, and Ataroth, and
these are their villages; and they will come to Jericho, and will issue
at Jordan.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the borders will proceed from
Tapho to the sea to Chelcana; and their termination will be at the sea;
this is the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim according to their
families.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the cities separated to the
sons of Ephraim were in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of
Manasse, all the cities and their villages.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Ephraim did not destroy the
Chananite who dwelt in Gazer; and the Chananite dwelt in Ephraim until
this day, until Pharao the king of Egypt went up and took it, and burnt
it with fire; and the Chananites, and Pherezites, and the dwellers in
Gaza they destroyed, and Pharao gave them for a dowry to his daughter.
17
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the borders of the tribe of
the children of Manasse, (for he was the first-born of Joseph,) assigned
to Machir the first-born of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a
warrior, were in the land of Galaad and of Basan.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And there was land assigned to the
other sons of Manasse according to their families; to the sons of Jezi,
and to the sons of Kelez, and to the sons of Jeziel, and to the sons of
Sychem, and to the sons of Symarim, and to the sons of Opher: these are
the males according to their families.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Salpaad the sons of Opher had
no sons but daughters: and these are the names of the daughters of
Salpaad; Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they stood before Eleazar the
priest, and before Joshua, and before the rulers, saying, God gave a
charge by the hand of Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of
our brethren: so there was given to them by the command of the Lord an
inheritance among the brethren of their father.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And their lot fell to them from
Anassa, and to the plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond
Jordan.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For the daughters of the sons of
Manasse inherited a portion in the midst of their brethren, and the land
of Galaad was assigned to the remainder of the sons of Manasse.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the borders of the sons of
Manasse were Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it proceeds
to the borders even to Jamin and Jassib to the fountain of Thaphthoth.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) It shall belong to Manasse, and
Thapheth on the borders of Manasse shall belong to the sons of Ephraim.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the borders shall go down to
the valley of Carana southward by the valley of Jariel, (there is a
turpentine tree belonging to Ephraim between that and the city of
Manasse:) and the borders of Manasse are northward to the brook; and the
sea shall be its termination.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Southward the land belongs to
Ephraim, and northward to Manasse; and the sea shall be their cost; and
northward they shall border upon Aseb, and eastward upon Issachar.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Manasses shall have in the
portion of Issachar and Aser Baethsan and their villages, and the
inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and
its villages, and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the sons of Manasse were not
able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that
land.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And it came to pass that when the
children of Israel were strong, they made the Chananites subject, but
they did not utterly destroy them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the sons of Joseph answered
Joshua, saying, Wherefore hast thou caused us to inherit one inheritance,
and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Joshua said to them, If thou
be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear the land for thyself,
If mount Ephraim be too little for thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And they said, The mount of
Ephraim does not please us, and the Chananite dwelling in it in Baethsan,
and in its villages, and in the valley of Jezrael, has choice cavalry and
iron.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Joshua said to the sons of
Joseph, If thou art a great people, and hast great strength, thou shalt
not have only one inheritance.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For thou shalt have the wood, for
there is a wood, and thou shalt clear it, and the land shall be thine;
even when thou shalt have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has
chosen cavalry; yet thou art stronger than he.
18
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And all the congregation of the
children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the
tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by them.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the sons of Israel remained,
even those who had not received their inheritance, seven tribes.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Joshua said to the sons of
Israel, How long will ye be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our
God has given you?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Appoint of yourselves three men of
each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them
describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And they came to him: and he
divided to them seven portions, saying, Juda shall stand to them a border
southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And do ye divide the land into
seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you
a lot before the Lord our God.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For the sons of Levi have no part
among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is his portion; and Gad, and
Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance
beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the men rose up and went; and
Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and
explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here
before the Lord in Selo.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And they went, and explored the
land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven
parts in a book, and brought the book to Joshua.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Joshua cast the lot for them
in Selo before the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the lot of the tribe of
Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of
their lot came forth between the children of Juda and the children of
Joseph.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And their borders were northward:
the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall
go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of
Mabdara.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the borders will go forth
thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the
borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is
southward of Baethoron the lower.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the borders shall pass
through and proceed to the part that looks toward the sea, on the south,
from the mountain in front of Baethoron southward, and its termination
shall be at Cariath-Baal, this is Cariath-Jarin, a city of the children
of Juda; this is the part toward the west.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the south side on the part of
Cariath-Baal; and the borders shall go across to Gasin, to the fountain
of the water of Naphtho.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the borders shall extend down
on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the
side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind
Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of Rogel.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the borders shall go across
to the fountain of Baethsamys: (18)
and shall proceed to Galiloth, which is in front by the going up of
Æthamin; and they shall come down to the stone of Baeon of the sons of
Ruben;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
and shall pass over behind Baetharaba northward, and shall go down to the
borders behind the sea northward.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the termination of the
borders shall be at the creek of the salt sea northward to the side of
Jordan southward: these are their southern borders.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Jordan shall be their
boundary on the east: this is the inheritance of the children of
Benjamin, these are their borders round about according to their
families.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the cities of the children of
Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the
Amecasis,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) and Baethabara, and Sara, and
Besana,
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) and Æein, and Phara, and
Ephratha,
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) and Carapha, and Cephira, and
Moni, and Gabaa, twelve cities and their villages:
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Gabaon, and Rama, and Beerotha;
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) and Massema, and Miron, and
Amoke;

and Selecan, and Thareela,

and Gabaoth, Jarim, thirteen cities, and their villages; this is the
inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.
19
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the second lot came out for
the children of Symeon; and their inheritance was in the midst of the
lots of the children of Juda.

(8) round about their cities as far as
Balec as men go to Bameth southward: this is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Symeon according to their families.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Symeon was a part of the lot of Juda, for the portion of
the children of Juda was greater than theirs; and the children of Symeon
inherited in the midst of their lot.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the third lot came out to
Zabulon according to their families: the bounds of their inheritance
shall be—Esedekgola shall be their border,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) the sea and Magelda, and it shall
reach to Baetharaba in the valley, which is opposite Jekman.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the border returned from
Sedduc in a contrary direction eastward from Baethsamys, to the borders
of Chaselothaith, and shall pass on to Dabiroth, and shall proceed upward
to Phangai.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And thence it shall come round in
the opposite direction eastward to Gebere to the city of Catasem, and
shall go on to Remmonaa Matharaoza.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the borders shall come round
northward to Amoth, and their going out shall be at Gaephael,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) and Catanath, and Nabaal, and
Symoon, and Jericho, and Baethman.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) This is the inheritance of the
tribe of the sons of Zabulon according to their families, these cities
and their villages.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the fourth lot came out to

(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)

(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the boundaries shall border

of his bounds shall be Jordan.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) This is the inheritance of the

and their villages.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the fifth lot came out to
Aser according to their families.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And their borders were Exeleketh,
and Aleph, and Baethok, and Keaph,
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) and Elimelech, and Amiel, and
Maasa, and the lot will border on Carmel westward, and on Sion, and
Labanath.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And it will return westward from
Baethegeneth, and will join Zabulon and Ekgai, and Phthaeel northwards,
and the borders will come to Saphthaebaethme, and Inael, and will go on
to Chobamasomel,
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) and Elbon, and Raab, and Ememaon,
and Canthan to great Sidon.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And the borders shall turn back
to Rama, and to the fountain of Masphassat, and the Tyrians; and the
borders shall return to Jasiph, and their going forth shall be the sea,
and Apoleb, and Echozob,
(ⲗ̅)
(30) and Archob, and Aphec, and Raau.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) This is the inheritance of the
tribe of the sons of Aser according to their families, the cities and
their villages.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And the sixth lot came out to
Nephthali.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And their borders were Moolam,
and Mola, and Besemiin, and Arme, and Naboc, and Jephthamai, as far as
Dodam; and their goings out were Jordan.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And the coasts will return
westward by Athabor, and will go out thence to Jacana, and will border on
Zabulon southward, and Aser will join it westward, and Jordan eastward.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And the walled cities of the
Tyrians, Tyre, and Omathadaketh, and Kenereth,

well of Asor;
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) and Keroe, and Megalaarim, and
Baetthame, and Thessamys.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) This is the inheritance of the
tribe of the children of Nephthali.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And the seventh lot came out to
Dan.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And their borders were Sarath,
and Asa, and the cities of Sammaus,
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) and Salamin, and Ammon, and
Silatha,
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) and Elon, and Thamnatha, and
Accaron;
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) and Alcatha, and Begethon, and
Gebeelan,
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(45) and Azor, and Banaebacat, and
Gethremmon.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅)
(46) And westward of Hieracon the
border was near to Joppa.
(ⲙ̅ⲏ̅)
(47) This is the inheritance of the
tribe of the children of Dan, according to their families, these are
their cities and their villages:
(ⲙ̅ⲏ̅a)
and the children of Dan did not drive out the Amorite who afflicted them
in the mountain; and the Amorite would not suffer them to come down into
the valley, but they forcibly took from them the border of their portion.
(ⲙ̅ⲍ̅)
(48) And the sons of Dan went and
fought against Lachis, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the
sword; and they dwelt in it, and called the name of it Lasendan:
(ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲁ)
(47a) and the Amorite continued to
dwell in Edom and in Salamin: and the hand of Ephraim prevailed against
them, and they became tribute to them.
(ⲙ̅ⲑ̅)
(49) And they proceeded to take
possession of the land according to their borders, and the children of
Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Naue among them,
(ⲛ̅)
(50) by the command of God, and they
gave him the city which he asked for, Thamnasarach, which is in the mount
of Ephraim; and he built the city, and dwelt in it.
(ⲛ̅ⲁ̅)
(51) These are the divisions which
Eleazar the priest divided by lot, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the
heads of families among the tribes of Israel, according to the lots, in
Selo before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and
they went to take possession of the land.
20
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Lord spoke to Joshua,
saying,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Speak to the children of Israel,
saying, Assign the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Even a refuge to the slayer who
has smitten a man unintentionally; and the cities shall be to you a
refuge, and the slayer shall not be put to death by the avenger of blood,
until he have stood before the congregation for judgment.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Joshua separated Cades in
Galilee in the mount Nephthali, and Sychem in the mount Ephraim, and the
city of Arboc; this is Chebron, in the mountain of Juda.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And beyond Jordan he appointed
Bosor in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Ruben, and
Aremoth in Galaad out of the tribe of Gad, and Gaulon in the country of
Basan out of the tribe of Manasse.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) These were the cities selected for
the sons of Israel, and for the stranger abiding among them, that every
one who smites a soul unintentionally should flee thither, that he should
not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he should stand before
the congregation for judgment.
21
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the heads of the families of
the sons of Levi drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son
of Naue, and to the heads of families of the tribes of Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And they spoke to them in Selo in
the land of Chanaan, saying, The Lord gave commandment by Moses to give
us cities to dwell in, and the country round about for our cattle.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) So the children of Israel gave to
the Levites in their inheritance by the command of the Lord the cities
and the country round.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the lot came out for the
children of Caath; and the sons of Aaron, the priests the Levites, had by
lot thirteen cities out of the tribe of Juda, and out of the tribe of
Symeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And to the sons of Caath that were
left were given by lot ten cities, out of the tribe of Ephraim, and out
of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasse.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the sons of Gedson had
thirteen cities, out of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of
Aser, and out of the tribe of Nephthali, and out of the half tribe of
Manasse in Basan.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the sons of Merari according
to their families had by lot twelve cities, out of the tribe of Ruben,
and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zabulon.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the children of Israel gave to
the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded Moses, by
lot.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the tribe of the children of
Juda, and the tribe of the children of Symeon, and part of the tribe of
the children of Benjamin gave these cities, and they were assigned
(ⲓ̅)
(10) to the sons of Aaron of the
family of Caath of the sons of Levi, for the lot fell to these.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they gave to them
Cariatharboc the metropolis of the sons of Enac; this is Chebron in the
mountain country of Juda, and the suburbs round it.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) But the lands of the city, and
its villages Joshua gave to the sons of Chaleb the son of Jephonne for a
possession.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And to the sons of Aaron he gave
the city of refuge for the slayer, Chebron, and the suburbs belonging to
it; and Lemna and the suburbs belonging to it;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) and Ælom and its suburbs; and
Tema and its suburbs;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) and Gella and its suburbs; and
Dabir and its suburbs;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) and Asa and its suburbs; and Tany
and its suburbs; and Baethsamys and its suburbs: nine cities from these
two tribes.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And from the tribe of Benjamin,
Gabaon and its suburbs; and Gatheth and its suburbs;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and Anathoth and its suburbs; and
Gamala and its suburbs; four cities.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) All the cities of the sons of
Aaron the priests, thirteen.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And to the families, even the
sons of Caath the Levites, that were left of the sons of Caath, there was
given their priests’ city,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) out of the tribe of Ephraim; and
they gave them the slayer’s city of refuge, Sychem, and its suburbs, and
Gazara and its appendages, and its suburbs;
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) and Baethoron and its suburbs:
four cities:
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) and the tribe of Dan, Helcothaim
and its suburbs; and Gethedan and its suburbs:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) and Ælon and its suburbs; and
Getheremmon and its suburbs: four cities.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And out of the half tribe of
Manasse, Tanach and its suburbs; and Jebatha and its suburbs; two cities.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) In all were given ten cities, and
the suburbs of each belonging to them, to the families of the sons of
Caath that remained.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Joshua gave to the sons of
Gedson the Levites out of the other half tribe of Manasse cities set
apart for the slayers, Gaulon in the country of Basan, and its suburbs;
and Bosora and its suburbs; two cities.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And out of the tribe of Issachar,
Kison and its suburbs; and Debba and its suburbs;
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) and Remmath and its suburbs; and
the well of Letters, and its suburbs; four cities.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And out of the tribe of Aser,
Basella and its suburbs; and Dabbon and its suburbs;
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) and Chelcat and its suburbs; and
Raab and its suburbs; four cities.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And of the tribe of Nephthali,
the city set apart for the slayer, Cades in Galilee, and its suburbs; and
Nemmath, and its suburbs; and Themmon and its suburbs; three cities.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) All the cities of Gedson
according to their families were thirteen cities.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And to the family of the sons of
Merari the Levites that remained, he gave out of the tribe of Zabulon,
Maan and its suburbs; and Cades and its suburbs,
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) and Sella and its suburbs: three
cities.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And beyond Jordan over against
Jericho, out of the tribe of Ruben, the city of refuge for the slayer,
Bosor in the wilderness; Miso and its suburbs;
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(36a) and Jazer and its suburbs; and
Decmon and its suburbs; and Mapha and its suburbs; four cities.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(37) And out of the tribe of Gad the
city of refuge for the slayer, both Ramoth in Galaad, and its suburbs;
Camin and its suburbs;
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(37a) and Esbon and its suburbs; and
Jazer and its suburbs: the cities were four in all.
(ⲙ̅)
(38) All these cities were given to
the sons of Merari according to the families of them that were left out
of the tribe of Levi; and their limits were the twelve cities.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(39) All the cities of the Levites in
the midst of the possession of the children of Israel, were forty-eight
cities, (40) and their suburbs round about these cities:
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(40a) a city and the suburbs round
about the city to all these cities:
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅a)
(40b) and Joshua ceased dividing the
land by their borders:
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅b)
(40c) and the children of Israel gave
a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him
the city which he asked: they gave him Thamnasachar in mount Ephraim;
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅c)
(40d) and Joshua built the city, and
dwelt in it:
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅d)
(40e) and Joshua took the knives of
stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in
the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasachar.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(41) So the Lord gave to Israel all
the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it,
and dwelt in it.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(42) And the Lord gave them rest round
about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies
maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies
into their hands.
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(43) There failed not one of the good
things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.
22
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then Joshua called together the
sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) and said to them, Ye have heard
all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and ye have
hearkened to my voice in all that he commanded you.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Ye have not deserted your brethren
these many days: until this day ye have kept the commandment of the Lord
your God.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And now the Lord our God has given
our brethren rest, as he told them: now then return and depart to your
homes, and to the land of your possession, which Moses gave you on the
other side Jordan.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) But take great heed to do the
commands and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you
to do; to love the Lord our God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his
commands, and to cleave to him, and serve him with all your mind, and
with all your soul.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Joshua blessed them, and
dismissed them; and they went to their homes.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And to one half the tribe of
Manasse Moses gave a portion in the land of Basan, and to the other half
Joshua gave a portion with his brethren on the other side of Jordan
westward: and when Joshua sent them away to their homes, then he blessed
them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they departed with much wealth
to their houses, and they divided the spoil of their enemies with their
brethren; very much cattle, and silver, and gold, and iron, and much
raiment.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So the sons of Ruben, and the sons
of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse, departed from the children of
Israel in Selo in the land of Chanaan, to go away into Galaad, into the
land of their possession, which they inherited by the command of the
Lord, by the hand of Moses.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they came to Galaad of
Jordan, which is in the land of Chanaan: and the children of Ruben, and
the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse built there an alter
by Jordan, a great altar to look at.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the children of Israel heard
say, Behold, the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe
of Manasse have built an alter at the borders of the land of Chanaan at
Galaad of Jordan, on the opposite side to the children of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And all the children of Israel
gathered together to Selo, so as to go up and fight against them.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the children of Israel sent
to the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and to the sons of the half
tribe of Manasse into the land of Galaad, both Phinees the son of Eleazar
the son of Aaron the priest,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) and ten of the chiefs with him;
there was one chief of every household out of all the tribes of Israel;
(the heads of families are the captains of thousands in Israel.)
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And they came to the sons of
Ruben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse into the
land of Galaad; and they spoke to them, saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Thus says the whole congregation
of the Lord, What is this transgression that ye have transgressed before
the God of Israel, to turn away today from the Lord, in that ye have
built for yourselves an alter, so that ye should be apostates from the
Lord?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Is the sin of Phogor too little
for you, whereas we have not been cleansed from it until this day, though
there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord?
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And ye have this day revolted
from the Lord; and it shall come to pass if ye revolt this day from the
Lord, that to-morrow there shall be wrath upon all Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And now if the land of your
possession be too little, cross over to the land of the possession of the
Lord, where the tabernacle of the Lord dwells, and receive ye an
inheritance among us; and do not become apostates from God, neither do ye
apostatize from the Lord, because of your having built an altar apart
from the altar of the Lord our God.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Lo! did not Achar the son of Zara
commit a trespass taking of the accursed thing, and there was wrath on
the whole congregation of Israel? and he himself died alone in his own
sin.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the sons of Ruben, and the
sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse answered, and spoke to the
captains of the thousands of Israel, saying,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) God even God is the Lord, and God
even God himself knows, and Israel he shall know; if we have transgressed
before the Lord by apostasy, let him not deliver us this day.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And if we have built to ourselves
an altar, so as to apostatize from the Lord our God, so as to offer upon
it a sacrifice of whole-burnt-offerings, so as to offer upon it a
sacrifice of peace-offering, —the Lord shall require it.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) But we have done this for the
sake of precaution concerning this thing, saying, Lest hereafter your
sons should say to our sons, What have ye to do with the Lord God of
Israel?
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Whereas the Lord has set
boundaries between us and you, even Jordan, and ye have no portion in the
Lord: so your sons shall alienate our sons, that they should not worship
the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And we gave orders to do thus, to
build this altar, not for burnt-offerings, nor for meat-offerings;
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) but that this may be a witness
between you and us, and between our posterity after us, that we may do
service to the Lord before him, with our burnt-offerings and our
meat-offerings and our peace-offerings: so your sons shall not say to our
sons, hereafter, Ye have no portion in the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And we said, If ever it should
come to pass that they should speak so to us, or to our posterity
hereafter; then shall they say, Behold the likeness of the altar of the
Lord, which our fathers made, not for the sake of burnt-offerings, nor
for the sake of meat-offerings, but it is a witness between you and us,
and between our sons.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) Far be it from us therefore that
we should turn away from the Lord this day so as to apostatize from the
Lord, so as that we should build an altar for burnt-offerings, and for
peace-offerings, besides the altar of the Lord which is before his
tabernacle.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Phinees the priest and all
the chiefs of the congregation of Israel who were with him heard the
words which the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half
tribe of Manasse spoke; and it pleased them.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Phinees the priest said to
the sons of Ruben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half of the tribe
of Manasse, To-day we know that the Lord is with us, because ye have not
trespassed grievously against the Lord, and because ye have delivered the
children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) So Phinees the priest and the
princes departed from the children of Ruben, and from the children of
Gad, and from the half tribe of Manasse out of Galaad into the land of
Chanaan to the children of Israel; and reported the words to them.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And it pleased the children of
Israel; and they spoke to the children of Israel, and blessed the God of
the children of Israel, and told them to go up no more to war against the
others to destroy the land of the children of Ruben, and the children of
Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse: so they dwelt upon it.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Joshua gave a name to the
altar of the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half
tribe of Manasse; and said, It is a testimony in the midst of them, that
the Lord is their God.

days after the Lord had given Israel rest from all his enemies round

there has not one of them failed.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And it shall come to pass, that
as all the good things are come upon us which the Lord God will bring
upon you all the evil things, until he shall have destroyed you from off
this good land, which the Lord has given you,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) when ye transgress the covenant
of the Lord our God, which he has charged us, and go and serve other
gods, and bow down to them.
24
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Joshua gathered all the tribe
of Israel to Selo, and convoked their elders, and their officers, and
their judges, and set them before God.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Joshua said to all the people,
Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers at first sojourned beyond
the river, even Thara, the father of Abraam and the father of Nachor; and
they served other gods.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And I took your father Abraam from
the other side of the river, and I guided him through all the land, and I
multiplied his seed;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) and I gave to him Isaac, and to
Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir for him to inherit:
and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt, and became there a great and
populous and mighty nation: and the Egyptians afflicted them.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And I smote Egypt with the wonders
that I wrought among them.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And afterwards God brought out our
fathers from Egypt, and ye entered into the Red Sea; and the Egyptians
pursued after our fathers with chariots and horses into the Red Sea.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And we cried aloud to the Lord;
and he put a cloud and darkness between us and the Egyptians, and he
brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen all
that the Lord did in the land of Egypt; and ye were in the wilderness
many days.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he brought us into the land of
the Amorites that dwelt beyond Jordan, and the Lord delivered them into
our hands; and ye inherited their land, and utterly destroyed them from
before you.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Balac, king of Moab, son of
Sepphor, rose up, and made war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam
to curse us.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But the Lord thy God would not
destroy thee; and he greatly blessed us, and rescued us out of their
hands, and delivered them to us.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And ye crossed over Jordan, and
came to Jericho; and the inhabitants of Jericho fought against us, the
Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the
Jebusite, and the Chettite, and the Gergesite, and the Lord delivered
them into our hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And he sent forth the hornet
before you; and he drove them out from before you, even twelve kings of
the Amorites, not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he gave you a land on which
ye did not labour, and cities which ye did not build, and ye were settled
in them; and ye eat of vineyards and oliveyards which ye did not plant.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And now fear the Lord, and serve
him in righteousness and justice; and remove the strange gods, which our
fathers served beyond the river, and in Egypt; and serve the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) But if it seem not good to you to
serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom ye will serve, whether
the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the
gods of the Amorites, among whom ye dwell upon their land: but I and my
house will serve the Lord, for he is holy.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the people answered and said,
Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) The Lord our God, he is God; he
brought up us and our fathers from Egypt, and kept us in all the way
wherein we walked, and among all the nations through whom we passed.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the Lord cast out the
Amorite, and all the nations that inhabited the land from before us: yea,
we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Joshua said to the people,
Indeed ye will not be able to serve the Lord, for God is holy; and he
being jealous will not forgive your sins and your transgressions.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Whensoever ye shall forsake the
Lord and serve other gods, then he shall come upon you and afflict you,
and consume you, because he has done you good.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the people said to Joshua,
Nay, but we will serve the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Joshua said to the people, Ye
are witnesses against yourselves, that ye have chosen the Lord to serve
him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And now take away the strange
gods that are among you, and set your heart right toward the Lord God of
Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the people said to Joshua, We
will serve the Lord, and we will hearken to his voice.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) So Joshua made a covenant with
the people on that day, and gave them a law and an ordinance in Selo
before the tabernacle of the God of Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And he wrote these words in the
book of the laws of God: and Joshua took a great stone, and set it up
under the oak before the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Joshua said to the people,
Behold, this stone shall be among you for a witness, for it has heard all
the words that have been spoken to it by the Lord; for he has spoken to
you this day; and this stone shall be among you for a witness in the last
days, whenever ye shall deal falsely with the Lord my God.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Joshua dismissed the people,
and they went every man to his place.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Israel served the Lord all
the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived as long as
Joshua, and all that knew all the works of the Lord which he wrought for
Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And it came to pass after these
things that Joshua the son of Naue the servant of the Lord died, at the
age of a hundred and ten years.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And they buried him by the
borders of his inheritance in Thamnasarach in the mount of Ephraim,
northward of the mount of Galaad:
(ⲗ̅a)
(30) there they put with him into the
tomb in which they buried him, the knives of stone with which he
circumcised the children of Israel in Galgala, when he brought them out
of Egypt, as the Lord appointed them; and there they are to this day.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And the children of Israel
brought up the bones of Joseph out of Egypt, and buried them in Sicima,
in the portion of the land which Jacob bought of the Amorites who dwelt
in Sicima for a hundred ewe-lambs; and he gave it to Joseph for a
portion.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And it came to pass afterwards
that Eleazar the high-priest the son of Aaron died, and was buried in
Gabaar of Phinees his son, which he gave him in mount Ephraim.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅a)
(33a) In that day the children of
Israel took the ark of God, and carried it about among them; and Phinees
exercised the priest’s office in the room of Eleazar his father till he
died, and he was buried in his own place Gabaar: but the children of
Israel departed every one to their place, and to their own city:
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅b)
(33b) and the children of Israel
worshipped Astarte, and Astaroth, and the gods of the nations round about
them; and the Lord delivered them into the hands of Eglom king of Moab
and he ruled over them eighteen years

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after the
death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord,
saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight
against them?
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Lord said, Judas shall go
up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Judas said to his brother
Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against
the Chananites, and I also will go with thee into thy lot: and Symeon
went with him.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Judas went up; and the Lord
delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they
smote them in Bezek to the number of ten thousand men.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And they overtook Adonibezek in
Bezek, and fought against him; and they smote the Chananite and the
Pherezite.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Adonibezek fled, and they
pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great
toes.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Adonibezek said, Seventy
kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their
food under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me:
and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the children of Judas fought
against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote with the edge of the sword, and
they burnt the city with fire.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And afterwards the children of
Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country,
and the south, and the plain country.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Judas went to the Chananite
who dwelt in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of
Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher:] and they smote Sessi, and
Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they went up thence to the
inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the
city of Letters.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall
smite the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him
Ascha my daughter to wife.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Gothoniel the younger son of
Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter
Ascha to wife.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And it came to pass as she went
in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she
murmured and cried from off her ass, Thou hast sent me forth into a south
land: and Chaleb said to her, What is thy request?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Ascha said to him, Give me, I
pray thee, a blessing, for thou hast sent me forth into a south land, and
thou shalt give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to
her heart the ransom of the upper springs and the ransom of the low
springs.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the children of Jothor the
Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees
with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of
Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they dwelt with the people.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Judas went with Symeon his
brother, and smote the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly
destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) But Judas did not inherit Gaza
nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts,
nor Azotus nor the lands around it.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the Lord was with Judas, and
he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the
inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And they gave Chebron to Chaleb,
as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children
of Enac.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) But the children of Benjamin did
not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who dwelt in Jerusalem; and the
Jebusite dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the sons of Joseph, they also
went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And they encamped and surveyed
Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the spies looked, and behold,
a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Shew
us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And he shewed them the way into
the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they
let go the man and his family.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the man went into the land of
Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this is
its name until this day.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Manasse did not drive out the
inhabitants of Baethsan, which is a city of Scythians, nor her towns, nor
her suburbs; nor Thanac, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor
her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitant of Balac, nor her suburbs,
nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor her suburbs, nor her
towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor her suburbs, nor her towns;
and the Chananite began to dwell in this land.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And it came to pass when Israel
was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly
drive them out.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Ephraim did not drive out the
Chananite that dwelt in Gazer; and the Chananite dwelt in the midst of
him in Gazer, and became tributary.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Zabulon did not drive out the
inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite
dwelt in the midst of them, and became tributary to them.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Aser did not drive out the
inhabitants of Accho, and that people became tributary to him, nor the
inhabitants of Dor, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor the inhabitants of
Dalaph, nor Aschazi, nor Chebda, nor Nai, nor Ereo.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Aser dwelt in the midst of
the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And Nephthali did not drive out
the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and
Nephthali dwelt in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but
the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And the Amorite drove out the
children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come
down into the valley.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And the Amorite began to dwell in
the mountain of shells, in which are bears, and foxes, in Myrsinon, and
in Thalabin; and the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon the
Amorite, and he became tributary to them.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And the border of the Amorite was
from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And an angel of the Lord went up
from Galgal to the place of weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of
Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of
Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and
I said, I will never break my covenant that I have made with you.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And ye shall make no covenant with
them that dwell in this land, neither shall ye worship their gods; but ye
shall destroy their graven images, ye shall pull down their altars: but
ye hearkened not to my voice, for ye did these things.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And I said, I will not drive them
out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their
gods shall be to you for an offence.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it came to pass when the angel
of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the
people lifted up their voice, and wept.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And they named the name of that
place Weepings; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Joshua dismissed the people,
and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the people served the Lord all
the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days
with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things
he had wrought in Israel.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Joshua the son of Naue, the
servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And they buried him in the border
of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of
the mountain of Gaas.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And all that generation were laid
to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not
the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the children of Israel
wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And they forsook the Lord God of
their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked
after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they
worshipped them. (13) And they
provoked the Lord,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the Lord was very angry with
Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled
them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and
they could not any longer resist their enemies,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) among whomsoever they went; and
the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as
the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the Lord raised up judges,
and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them:
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
and yet they hearkened not to the judges, (17) for they went a whoring after other gods, and
worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their
fathers walked to hearken to the words of the Lord; they did not so.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And because the Lord raised them
up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand
of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at
their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And it came to pass when the
judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted themselves worse
than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship
them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the Lord was very angry with
Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which
I commanded their fathers, and has not hearkened to my voice,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) therefore I will not any more
cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of
Naue left in the land. And the Lord left them,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) to prove Israel with them,
whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their
fathers kept it, or no. ( 23 ) So the
Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and
he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And these are the nations which
the Lord left to prove Israel with them, all that had not known the wars
of Chanaan.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Only for the sake of the
generations of Israel, to teach them war, only the men before them knew
them not.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The five lordships of the
Phylistines, and every Chananite, and the Sidonian, and the Evite who
dwelt in Libanus from the mount of Aermon to Laboemath.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And this was done in order to
prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commands of the
Lord, which he charged their fathers by the hand of Moses.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the children of Israel dwelt
in the midst of the Chananite, and the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the
Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And they took their daughters for
wives to themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and
served their gods.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the children of Israel did
evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served
Baalim and the groves.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the Lord was very angry with
Israel, and sold them into the hand of Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the
rivers: and the children of Israel served Chusarsathaim eight years.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the children of Israel cried
to the Lord; and the Lord raised up a saviour to Israel, and he saved
them, Gothoniel the son of Kenez, the brother of Chaleb younger than
himself.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the Spirit of the Lord came
upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war against
Chusarsathaim: and the Lord delivered into his hand Chusarsathaim king of
Syria of the rivers, and his hand prevailed against Chusarsathaim.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the land was quiet forty
years; and Gothoniel the son of Kenez died.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the children of Israel
continued to do evil before the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglom
king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil before the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he gathered to himself all
the children of Ammon and Amalec, and went and smote Israel, and took
possession of the city of Palm-trees.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the children of Israel served
Eglom the king of Moab eighteen years.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the children of Israel cried
to the Lord; and he raised up to them a saviour, Aod the son of Gera a
son of Jemeni, a man who used both hands alike: and the children of
Israel sent gifts by his hand to Eglom king of Moab.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Aod made himself a dagger of
two edges, of a span long, and he girded it under his cloak upon his
right thigh.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he went, and brought the
presents to Eglom king of Moab, and Eglom was a very handsome man.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And it came to pass when Aod had
made an end of offering his gifts, that he dismissed those that brought
the gifts.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And he himself returned from the
quarries that are by Galgal; and Aod said, I have a secret errand to
thee, O king! and Eglom said to him, Be silent: and he sent away from his
presence all who waited upon him.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Aod went in to him; and he
sat in his own upper summer chamber quite alone; and Aod said, I have a
message from God to thee, O king: and Eglom rose up from his throne near
him.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And it came to pass as he arose,
that Aod stretched forth his left hand, and took the dagger off his right
thigh, and plunged it into his belly;
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) and drove in also the haft after
the blade, and the fat closed in upon the blade, for he drew not out the
dagger from his belly.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Aod went out to the porch,
and passed out by the appointed guards, and shut the doors of the chamber
upon him, and locked them.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And he went out: and Eglom’s
servants came, and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber were
locked; and they said, Does he not uncover his feet in the
summer-chamber?
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And they waited till they were
ashamed, and, behold, there was no one that opened the doors of the upper
chamber; and they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord
was fallen down dead upon the earth.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Aod escaped while they were
in a tumult, and no one paid attention to him; and he passed the
quarries, and escaped to Setirotha.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And it came to pass when Aod came
into the land of Israel, that he blew the horn in mount Ephraim, and the
children of Israel came down with him from the mountain, and he was
before them.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And he said to them, Come down
after me, for the Lord God has delivered our enemies, even Moab, into our
hand; and they went down after him, and seized on the fords of Jordan
before Moab, and he did not suffer a man to pass over.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And they smote Moab on that day
about ten thousand men, every lusty person and every mighty man; and not
a man escaped.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) So Moab was humbled in that day
under the hand of Israel, and the land had rest eighty years; and Aod
judged them till he died.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And after him rose up Samegar the
son of Dinach, and smote the Philistines to the number of six hundred men
with a ploughshare such as is drawn by oxen; and he too delivered Israel.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the children of Israel
continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Lord sold the children of
Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the
chief of his host was Sisara, and he dwelt in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the children of Israel cried
to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he
mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Debbora, a prophetess, the
wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And she sat under the palm-tree of
Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of
Israel went up to her for judgment.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Debbora sent and called Barac
the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not
the Lord God of Israel commanded thee? and thou shalt depart to mount
Thabor, and shalt take with thyself ten thousand men of the sons of
Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And I will bring to thee to the
torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his
chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into thine hands.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Barac said to her, If thou
wilt go with me, I will go; and if thou wilt not go, I will not go; for I
know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And she said, I will surely go
with thee; but know that thy honour shall not attend on the expedition on
which thou goest, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a
women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Barac called Zabulon and
Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men,
and Debbora went up with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Chaber the Kenite had removed
from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and
pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And it was told Sisara that Barac
the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Sisara summoned all his
chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from
Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Debbora said to Barac, Rise
up, for this is the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into thy
hand, for the Lord shall go forth before thee: and Barac went down from
mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the Lord discomfited Sisara,
and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before
Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Barac pursued after the
chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole
army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Sisara fled on his feet to
the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was
peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Jael went, out to meet
Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not:
and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a
mantle.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Sisara said to her, Give me,
I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a
bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Sisara said to her, Stand now
by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to
thee, and ask of thee, and say, Is there any man here? then thou shalt
say, There is not.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Jael the wife of Chaber took
a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to
him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the
earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And, behold, Barac was pursuing
Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I
will shew thee the man whom thou seekest: and he went in to her; and,
behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin was in his temple.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) So God routed Jabin king of
Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the hand of the children of
Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they
utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
5
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Debbora and Barac son of
Abineem sang in that day, saying,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A revelation was made in Israel
when the people were made willing: Praise ye the Lord.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Hear, ye kings, and hearken,
rulers: I will sing, it is I who will sing to the Lord, it is I, I will
sing a psalm to the Lord the god of Israel.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) O Lord, in thy going forth on
Seir, when thou wentest forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked
and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The mountains were shaken before
the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of
Israel.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) In the days of Samegar son of
Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways;
they went in crooked paths.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) The mighty men in Israel failed,
they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) They chose new gods; then the
cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen among forty
thousand in Israel.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) My heart inclines to the orders
given in Israel; ye that are willing among the people, bless the Lord.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Ye that mount a she-ass at
noon-day, ye that sit on the judgment-seat, and walk by the roads of them
that sit in judgment by the way; declare
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) ye that are delivered from the
noise of disturbers among the drawers of water; there shall they relate
righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the
people of the Lord went down to the cities.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Awake, awake, Debbora; awake,
awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead thy captivity captive, son of
Abineem.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Then went down the remnant to the
strong, the people of the Lord went down for him among the mighty ones
from me.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Ephraim rooted them out in
Amalec, behind thee was Benjamin among thy people: the inhabitants of
Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came
they that draw with the scribe’s pen of record.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And princess in Issachar were
with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys
into the portions of Ruben; great pangs reached to the heart.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Why did they sit between the
sheep-folds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben?
there were great searchings of heart.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Galaad is on the other side of
Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser
sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at his ports.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) The people Zabulon exposed their
soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Kings set themselves in array,
then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo;
they took no gift of money.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) The stars from heaven set
themselves in array, they set themselves to fight with Sisara out of
their paths.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) The brook of Kison swept them
away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him
down.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) When the hoofs of the horse were
entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) to curse Meroz: Curse ye it, said
the angel of the Lord; cursed is every one that dwells in it, because
they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help among the mighty.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Blessed among women be Jael wife
of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) He asked for water, she gave him
milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) She stretched forth her left hand
to the nail, and her right to the hand workman’s hammer, and she smote
Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and smote him; she nailed
through his temples.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) He rolled down between her feet;
he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed,
there he fell dead.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) The mother of Sisara looked down
through the window out of the loophole, saying, Why was his chariot
ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots tarry?
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) Her wise ladies answered her, and
she returned answers to herself,
(ⲗ̅)
(30) Will they not find him dividing
the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: there are spoils of
dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed
embroidered garments, they are the spoils for his neck.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) Thus let all thine enemies
perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the
sun in his strength. (32) And the land
had rest forty years.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the children of Israel did
evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of
Madiam seven years
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the hand of Madiam prevailed
against Israel: and the children of Israel made for themselves because of
Madiam the caves in the mountains, and the dens, and the holes in the
rocks.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And it came to pass when the
children of Israel sowed, that Madiam and Amalec went up, and the
children of the east went up together with them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they encamped against them,
and destroyed their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the
support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass among the
herds.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For they and their stock came up,
and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was
no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel,
and laid it waste.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Israel was greatly
impoverished because of Madiam.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the children of Israel cried
to the Lord because of Madiam.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the Lord sent a prophet to the
children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of
Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I
brought you up out of the house of your bondage.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And I delivered you out of the
hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast
them out before you; and I gave you their land.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And I said to you, I am the Lord
your God: ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye
dwell; but ye hearkened not to my voice.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And an angel of the Lord came,
and sat down under the fir tree, which was in Ephratha in the land of
Joas father of Esdri; and Gedeon his son was threshing wheat in a
wine-press in order to escape from the face of Madiam.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the angel of the Lord
appeared to him and said to him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty in
strength.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Gedeon said to him, Be
gracious with me, my Lord: but if the Lord is with us, why have these
evils found us? and where are all his miracles, which our fathers have
related to us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt? and now
he has cast us out, and given us into the hand of Madiam.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the angel of the Lord turned
to him, and said, Go in this thy strength, and thou shalt save Israel out
of the hand of Madiam: behold, I have sent thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Gedeon said to him, Be
gracious with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my
thousand is weakened in Manasse, and I am the least in my father’s house.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the angel of the Lord said to
him, The Lord shall be with thee, and thou shalt smite Madiam as one man.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Gedeon said to him, If now I
have found mercy in thine eyes, and thou wilt do this day for me all that
thou hast spoken of with me,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) depart not hence until I come to
thee, and I will bring forth an offering and offer it before thee: and he
said, I will remain until thou return.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Gedeon went in, and prepared
a kid of the goats, and an ephah of fine flour unleavened; and he put the
flesh in the basket, and poured the broth into the pot, and brought them
forth to him under the turpentine tree, and drew nigh.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the angel of God said to him,
Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and put them on that rock, and
pour out the broth close by: and he did so.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the angel of the Lord
stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the
flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and
consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord
vanished from his sight.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Gedeon saw that he was an
angel of the Lord; and Gedeon said, Ah, ah, Lord my God! for I have seen
the angel of the Lord face to face.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the Lord said to him, Peace
be to thee, fear not, thou shalt not die.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Gedeon built there an altar
to the Lord, and called it The peace of the Lord, until this day, as it
is still in Ephratha of the father of Esdri.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And it came to pass in that
night, that the Lord said to him, Take the young bullock which thy father
has, even the second bullock of seven years old, and thou shalt destroy
the altar of Baal which thy father has, and the grove which is by it thou
shalt destroy.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And thou shalt build an altar to
the Lord thy God on the top of this Maozi in the ordering it, and thou
shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer up whole-burnt-offerings
with the wood of the grove, which thou shalt destroy.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Gedeon took ten men of his
servants, and did as the Lord spoke to him: and it came to pass, as he
feared the house of his father and the men of the city if he should do it
by day, that he did it by night.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And the men of the city rose up
early in the morning; and behold, the altar of Baal had been demolished,
and the grove by it had been destroyed; and they saw the second bullock,
which Gedeon offered on the altar that had been built.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And a man said to his neighbour,
Who has done this thing? and they enquired and searched, and learnt that
Gedeon the son of Joas had done this thing.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And the men of the city said to
Joas, Bring out thy son, and let him die, because he has destroyed the
altar of Baal, and because he has destroyed the grove that is by it.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Gedeon the son of Joas said
to all the men who rose up against him, Do ye now plead for Baal, or will
ye save him? whoever will plead for him, let him be slain this morning:
if he be a god let him plead for himself, because one has thrown down his
altar.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And he called it in that day
Jerobaal, saying, Let Baal plead thereby, because his altar has been
thrown down.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And all Madiam, and Amalek, and
the sons of the east gathered themselves together, and encamped in the
valley of Jezrael.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And the Spirit of the Lord came
upon Gedeon, and he blew with the horn, and Abiezer came to help after
him.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And Gedeon sent messengers into
all Manasse, and into Aser, and into Zabulon, and into Nephthali; and he
went up to meet them.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And Gedeon said to God, If thou
wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) behold, I put the fleece of wool
in the threshing-floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and drought
on all the ground, I shall know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as
thou hast said.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And it was so: and he rose up
early in the morning, and wrung the fleece, and dew dropped from the
fleece, a bowl full of water.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And Gedeon said to God, Let not,
I pray thee, thine anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I
will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be
upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And God did so in that night; and
there was drought on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was
dew.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Jerobaal rose early, the same
is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of
Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, reaching from
Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Lord said to Gedeon, The
people with thee are many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their
hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved
me.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And now speak in the ears of the
people, saying, Who is afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from
mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and
ten thousand were left.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the Lord said to Gedeon, The
people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge
them there for thee: and it shall come to pass that of whomsoever I shall
say to thee, This one shall go with thee, even he shall go with thee; and
of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall not go with thee, even
he shall not go with thee.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he brought the people down to
the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water
with his tongue as if a dog should lap, thou shalt set him apart, and
also whosoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the number of those that
lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the
rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the Lord said to Gedeon, I
will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give
Madiam into thy hand; and all the rest of the people shall go every one
to his place.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they took the provision of the
people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of
Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the
army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And it came to pass in that night
that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have
delivered it into thy hand.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And if thou art afraid to go
down, go down thou and thy servant Phara into the camp.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And thou shalt hear what they
shall say, and afterwards thy hands shall be strong, and thou shalt go
down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the
extremity of the companies of fifty, which were in the camp.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Madiam and Amalec and all the
children of the east were scattered in the valley, as the locust for
multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the
sand on the seashore for multitude.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Gedeon came, and behold a man
was relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have
dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp
of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and smote it, and it fell, and
it turned it up, and the tent fell.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And his neighbour answered and
said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of
Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And it came to pass when Gedeon
heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he
worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise,
for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And he divided the three hundred
men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty
pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) and he said to them, Ye shall
look at me, and so shall ye do; and behold, I will go into the beginning
of the host, and it shall come to pass that as I do, so shall ye do.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And I will sound with the horn,
and all ye with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp,
and ye shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Gedeon and the hundred men
that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of
the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with
the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
(ⲕ̅)
(20) and the three companies sounded
with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their
left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they
cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And every man stood in his place
round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded an alarm, and
fled. (22) And they sounded with the
three hundred horns;
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
and the Lord set every man’s sword in all the host against his neighbour.
( 23 ) And the host fled as far as
Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath;
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all
Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Gedeon sent messengers into
all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to
yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of
Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand unto Baethera and
Jordan.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And they took the princess of
Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they slew Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they slew
Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb
and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the men of Ephraim said to
Gedeon, What is this that thou hast done to us, in that thou didst not
call us when thou wentest to fight with Madiam? and they chode with him
sharply.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he said to them, What have I
now done in comparison of you? is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than
the vintage of Abiezer?
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The Lord has delivered into your
hand the princes of Madiam, Oreb and Zeb; and what could I do in
comparison of you? Then was their spirit calmed toward him, when he spoke
this word.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Gedeon came to Jordan, and
went over, himself and the three hundred with him, hungry, yet pursuing.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he said to the men of
Socchoth, Give, I pray you, bread to feed this people that follow me;
because they are faint, and behold, I am following after Zebee and
Salmana, kings of Madiam.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the princes of Socchoth said,
Are the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in thy hand, that we should give
bread to thy host?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Gedeon said, Therefore when
the Lord gives Zebee and Salmana into my hand, then will I tear your
flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and the Barkenim.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he went up thence to Phanuel,
and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Phanuel answered him as the
men of Socchoth had answered him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Gedeon said to the men of
Phanuel, When I return in peace, I will break down this tower.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Zebee and Salmana were in
Carcar, and their host was with them, about fifteen thousand, all that
were left of all the host of the aliens; and they that fell were a
hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Gedeon went up by the way of
them that dwelt in tents, eastward of Nabai and Jegebal; and he smote the
host, and the host was secure.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Zebee and Salmana fled; and
he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Madiam, Zebee and
Salmana, and discomfited all the army.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Gedeon the son of Joas
returned from the battle, down from the battle of Ares.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he took prisoner a young lad
of the men of Socchoth, and questioned him; and he wrote to him the names
of the princes of Socchoth and of their elders, seventy-seven men.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Gedeon came to the princes of
Socchoth, and said, Behold Zebee and Salmana, about whom ye reproached
me, saying, Are the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in thy hand, that we
should give bread to thy men that are faint?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And he took the elders of the
city with the thorns of the wilderness and the Barkenim, and with them he
tore the men of the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he overthrew the tower of
Phanuel, and slew the men of the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And he said to Zebee and Salmana,
Where are the men whom ye slew in Thabor? and they said, As thou, so were
they, according to the likeness of the son of a king.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Gedeon said, They were my
brethren and the sons of my mother: as the Lord lives, if ye had
preserved them alive, I would not have slain you.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And he said to Jether his
first-born, Rise and slay them; but the lad drew not his sword, for he
was afraid, for he was yet very young.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Zebee and Salmana said, Rise
thou and fall upon us, for thy power is as that of a man; and Gedeon
arose, and slew Zebee and Salmana: and he took the round ornaments that
were on the necks of their camels.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the men of Israel said to
Gedeon, Rule, my lord, over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s
son; for thou hast saved us out of the hand of Madiam.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Gedeon said to them, I will
not rule, and my son shall not rule among you; the Lord shall rule over
you.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Gedeon said to them, I will
make a request of you, and do ye give me every man an earring out of his
spoils: for they had golden earrings, for they were Ismaelites.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And they said, We will certainly
give them: and he opened his garment, and each man cast therein an
earring of his spoils.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the weight of the golden
earrings which he asked, was a thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold,
besides the crescents, and the chains, and the garments, and the purple
cloths that were on the kings of Madiam, and besides the chains that were
on the necks of their camels.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Gedeon made an ephod of it,
an set it in his city in Ephratha; and all Israel went thither a whoring
after it, and it became a stumbling-block to Gedeon and his house.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Madiam, was straitened before
the children of Israel, and they did not lift up their head any more; and
the land had rest forty years in the days of Gedeon.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Jerobaal the son of Joas went
and sat in his house.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Gedeon had seventy sons
begotten of his body, for he had many wives.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And his concubine was in Sychem,
and she also bore him a son, and gave him the name Abimelech.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Gedeon son of Joas died in
his city, and he was buried in the sepulchre of Joas his father in
Ephratha of Abi-Esdri.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And it came to pass when Gedeon
was dead, that the children of Israel turned, and went a whoring after
Baalim, and made for themselves a covenant with Baal that he should be
their god.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And the children of Israel
remembered not the Lord their God who had delivered them out of the hand
of all that afflicted them round about.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And they did not deal mercifully
with the house of Jerobaal, (the same is Gedeon) according to all the
good which he did to Israel.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Abimelech son of Jerobaal went
to Sychem to his mother’s brethren; and he spoke to them and to all the
kindred of the house of his mother’s father, saying,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Speak, I pray you, in the ears of
all the men of Sychem, saying, Which is better for you, that seventy men,
even all the sons of Jerobaal, should reign over you, or that one man
should reign over you? and remember that I am your bone and your flesh.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And his mother’s brethren spoke
concerning him in the ears of all the men of Sychem all these words; and
their heart turned after Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they gave him seventy pieces
of silver out of the house of Baalberith; and Abimelech hired for himself
vain and cowardly men, and they went after him.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he went to the house of his
father to Ephratha, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy
men upon one stone; but Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal was left,
for he hid himself.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And all the men of Sicima, and all
the house of Bethmaalo, were gathered together, and they went and made
Abimelech king by the oak of Sedition, which was at Sicima.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And it was reported to Joatham,
and he went and stood on the top of mount Garizin, and lifted up his
voice, and wept, and said to them, Hear me, ye men of Sicima, and God
shall hear you.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The trees went forth on a time to
anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive, Reign over us.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) But the olives said to them, Shall
I leave my fatness, with which men shall glorify God, and go to be
promoted over the trees?
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the trees said to the
fig-tree, Come, reign over us.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But the fig-tree said to them,
Shall I leave my sweetness an my good fruits, and go to be promoted over
the trees?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the trees said to the vine,
Come, reign over us.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the vine said to them, Shall
I leave my wine that cheers God and men, and go to be promoted over the
trees?
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Then all the trees said to the
bramble, Come thou and reign over us.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the bramble said to the
trees, If ye in truth anoint me to reign over you, come, stand under my
shadow; and if not, let fire come out from me and devour the cedars of
Libanus.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And now, if ye have done it in
truth and integrity, and have made Abimelech king, and if ye have wrought
well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and if ye have done to him
according to the reward of his hand,
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) as my father fought for you, and
put his life in jeopardy, and delivered you out of the hand of Madiam;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and ye are risen up this day
against the house of my father, and have slain his sons, being seventy
men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his bondwoman
king over the men of Sicima, because he is your brother:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) if then ye have done truly and
faithfully with Jerobaal, and with his house this day, rejoice ye in
Abimelech, and let him also rejoice over you:
(ⲕ̅)
(20) but if not, let fire come out
from Abimelech, and devour the men of Sicima, and the house of Bethmaalo;
and let fire come out from the men of Sicima and from the house of
Bethmaalo, and devour Abimelech.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Joatham fled, and ran away,
and went as far as Baeer, and dwelt there out of the way of his brother
Abimelech.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Abimelech reigned over Israel
three years.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And God sent an evil spirit
between Abimelech and the men of Sicima; and the men of Sicima dealt
treacherously with the house of Abimelech:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) to bring the injury done to the
seventy sons of Jerobaal, and to lay their blood upon their brother
Abimelech, who slew them, and upon the men of Sicima, because they
strengthened his hands to slay his brethren.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the men of Sicima set liers
in wait against him on the top of the mountains, and robbed every one who
passed by them on the way; and it was reported to the king Abimelech.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Gaal son of Jobel came, and
his brethren, and passed by Sicima, and the men of Sicima trusted in him.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And they went out into the field,
and gathered their grapes, and trod them, and made merry; and they
brought the grapes into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and
cursed Abimelech.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Gaal the son of Jobel said,
Who is Abimelech, and who is the son of Sychem, that we should serve him?
Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and is not Zebul his steward, his servant
with the son of Emmor the father of Sychem? and why should we serve him?
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And would that this people were
under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech, and I would say to him,
Multiply thy host, and come out.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Zebul the ruler of the city
heard the words of Gaal the son of Jobel, and he was very angry.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And he sent messengers to
Abimelech secretly, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Jobel and his
brethren are come to Sychem; and behold, they have besieged the city
against thee.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And now rise up by night, thou
and the people with thee, and lay wait in the field.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And it shall come to pass in the
morning at sunrising, thou shalt rise up early and draw toward the city;
and behold, he and the people with him will come forth against thee, and
thou shalt do to him according to thy power.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Abimelech and all the people
with him rose up by night, and formed an ambuscade against Sychem in four
companies.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And Gaal the son of Jobel went
forth, and stood by the door of the gate of the city: and Abimelech and
the people with him rose up from the ambuscade.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And Gaal the son of Jobel saw the
people, and said to Zebul, Behold, a people comes down from the top of
the mountains: and Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow of the
mountains as men.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And Gaal continued to speak and
said, Behold, a people comes down westward from the part bordering on the
middle of the land, and another company comes by the way of Helon
Maonenim.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And Zebul said to him, And where
is thy mouth as thou spokest, Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?
Is not this the people whom thou despisedst? go forth now, and set the
battle in array against him.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And Gaal went forth before the
men of Sychem, and set the battle in array against Abimelech.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And Abimelech pursued him, and he
fled from before him; and many fell down slain as far as the door of the
gate.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And Abimelech entered into Arema,
and Zebul cast out Gaal and his brethren, so that they should not dwell
in Sychem.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And it came to pass on the second
day that the people went out into the field, and one brought word to
Abimelech.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And he took the people, and
divided them into three companies, and formed an ambush in the field; and
he looked, and, behold, the people went forth out of the city, and he
rose up against them, and smote them.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) And Abimelech and the chiefs of
companies that were with him rushed forward, and stood by the door of the
gate of the city; and the two other companies rushed forward upon all
that were in the field, and smote them.
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(45) And Abimelech fought against the
city all that day, and took the city, and slew the people that were in
it, and destroyed the city, and sowed it with salt.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅)
(46) And all the men of the tower of
Sychem heard, and came to the gathering of Baethel-berith.
(ⲙ̅ⲍ̅)
(47) And it was reported to Abimelech,
that all the men of the tower of Sychem were gathered together.
(ⲙ̅ⲏ̅)
(48) And Abimelech went up to the
mount of Selmon, and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech
took an axe in his hand, and cut down a branch of a tree, and took it,
and laid it on his shoulders; and said to the people that were with him,
What ye see me doing, do quickly as I.
(ⲙ̅ⲑ̅)
(49) And they cut down likewise even
every man a branch, and went after Abimelech, and laid them against the
place of gathering, and burnt the place of gathering over them with fire;
and they died, even all the men of the tower of Sicima, about a thousand
men and women.
(ⲛ̅)
(50) And Abimelech went out of
Baethel-berith, and encamped against Thebes, and took it.
(ⲛ̅ⲁ̅)
(51) And there was a strong tower in
the midst of the city; and thither all the men and the women of the city
fled, and shut the door without them, and went up on the roof of the
tower.
(ⲛ̅ⲃ̅)
(52) And Abimelech drew near to the
tower, and they besieged it; and Abimelech drew near to the door of the
tower to burn it with fire.
(ⲛ̅ⲅ̅)
(53) And a woman cast a piece of a
millstone upon the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
(ⲛ̅ⲇ̅)
(54) And he cried out quickly to the
young man his armour-bearer, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay
me, lest at any time they should say, A woman slew him: and his young man
thrust him through and he died.
(ⲛ̅ⲉ̅)
(55) And the men of Israel saw that
Abimelech was dead; and they went each to his place.
(ⲛ̅ⲋ̅)
(56) So God requited the wickedness of
Abimelech, which he wrought against his father, in slaying his seventy
brethren.
(ⲛ̅ⲍ̅)
(57) And all the wickedness of the men
of Sychem God requited upon their head; and the curse of Joatham the son
of Jerobaal came upon them.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And after Abimelech Thola the son
of Phua rose up to save Israel, being the son of his father’s brother, a
man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Samir in mount Ephraim.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he judged Israel twenty-three
years, and died, and was buried in Samir.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And after him arose Jair of
Galaad, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And he had thirty-two sons riding
on thirty-two colts, and they had thirty-two cities; and they called them
Jair’s towns until this day in the land of Galaad.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Jair died, and was buried in
Rhamnon.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the children of Israel did
evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Astaroth, and
the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the
gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Phylistines; and they
forsook the Lord, and did not serve him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the Lord was very angry with
Israel, and sold them into the hands of the Phylistines, and into the
hand of the children of Ammon.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they afflicted and bruised the
children of Israel at that time eighteen years, all the children of
Israel beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorite in Galaad.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the children of Ammon went
over Jordan to fight with Juda, and Benjamin, and with Ephraim; and the
children of Israel were greatly afflicted.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the children of Israel cried
to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have
forsaken God, and served Baalim.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the Lord said to the children
of Israel, Did I not save you from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from
the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) and from the Sidonians, and
Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and ye cried to me, and I saved
you out of their hand?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Yet ye forsook me and served
other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Go, and cry to the gods whom ye
have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your
affliction.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the children of Israel said
to the Lord, We have sinned: do thou to us according to all that is good
in thine eyes; only deliver us this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And they put away the strange
gods from the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was
pained for the trouble of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the children of Ammon went
up, and encamped in Galaad; and the children of Israel were gathered
together and encamped on the hill.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the people the princes of
Galaad said every man to his neighbour, Who is he that shall begin to
fight against the children of Ammon? he shall even be head over all that
dwell in Galaad.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Jephthae the Galaadite was a
mighty man; and he was the son of a harlot, who bore Jephthae to Galaad.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the wife of Galaad bore him
sons; and the sons of his wife grew up, and they cast out Jephthae, and
said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in the house of our father, for thou
art the son of a concubine.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Jephthae fled from the face of
his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and vain men gathered to
Jephthae, and went out with him.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it came to pass when the
children of Ammon prepared to fight with Israel,
(ⲉ̅)
(5) that the elders of Galaad went to
fetch Jephthae from the land of Tob.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And they said to Jephthae, Come,
and be our head, and we will fight with the sons of Ammon.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Jephthae said to the elders of
Galaad, Did ye not hate me, and cast me out of my father’s house, and
banish me from you? and wherefore are ye come to me now when ye want me?
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the elders of Galaad said to
Jephthae, Therefore have we now turned to thee, that thou shouldest go
with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all
the inhabitants of Galaad.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Jephthae said to the elders of
Galaad, If ye turn me back to fight with the children of Ammon, and the
Lord should deliver them before me, then will I be your head.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the elders of Galaad said to
Jephthae, The Lord be witness between us, if we shall not do according to
thy word.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Jephthae went with the elders
of Galaad, and the people made him head and ruler over them: and Jephthae
spoke all his words before the Lord in Massepha.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Jephthae sent messengers to
the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with thee,
that thou hast come against me to fight in my land?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the king of the children of
Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthae, Because Israel took my land
when he went up out of Egypt, from Arnon to Jaboc, and to Jordan: now
then return them peaceably and I will depart.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Jephthae again sent
messengers to the king of the children of Ammon,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) and said to him, Thus says
Jephthae, Israel took not the land of Moab, nor the land of the children
of Ammon;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) for in their going up out of
Egypt Israel went in the wilderness as far as the sea of Siph, and came
to Cades.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Israel sent messengers to the
king of Edom, saying, I will pass, if it please thee, by thy land: and
the king of Edom complied not: and Israel also sent to the king of Moab,
and he did not consent; and Israel sojourned in Cades.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And they journeyed in the
wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab: and they
came by the east of the land of Moab, an encamped in the country beyond
Arnon, and came not within the borders of Moab, for Arnon is the border
of Moab.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Israel sent messengers to
Seon king of the Amorite, king of Esbon, and Israel said to him, Let us
pass, we pray thee, by thy land to our place.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Seon did not trust Israel to
pass by his coast; and Seon gathered all his people, and they encamped at
Jasa; and he set the battle in array against Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the Lord God of Israel
delivered Seon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote
him; and Israel inherited all the land of the Amorite who dwelt in that
land,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) from Arnon and to Jaboc, and from
the wilderness to Jordan.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And now the Lord God of Israel
has removed the Amorite from before his people Israel, and shalt thou
inherit his land?
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Wilt thou not inherit those
possessions which Chamos thy god shall cause thee to inherit; and shall
not we inherit the land of all those whom the Lord our God has removed
from before you?
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And now art thou any better than
Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab? did he indeed fight with Israel, or
indeed make war with him,
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) when Israel dwelt in Esebon and
in its coasts, and in the land of Aroer and in its coasts, and in all the
cities by Jordan, three hundred years? and wherefore didst thou not
recover them in that time?
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And now I have not sinned against
thee, but thou wrongest me in preparing war against me: may the Lord the
Judge judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of
Ammon.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) But the king of the children of
Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthae, which he sent to him.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And the spirit of the Lord came
upon Jephthae, and he passed over Galaad, and Manasse, and passed by the
watch-tower of Galaad to the other side of the children of Ammon.

(30) And Jephthae vowed a vow to the
Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my

(31) then it shall come to pass that
whosoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I
return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord’s: I
will offer him up for a whole-burnt-offering.

(32) And Jephthae advanced to meet the
sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his
hand.

(33) And he smote them from Aroer till
one comes to Arnon, in number twenty cities, and as far as Ebelcharmim,
with a very great destruction: and the children of Ammon were straitened
before the children of Israel.

(34) And Jephthae came to Massepha to
his house; and behold, his daughter came forth to meet him with timbrels
and dances; and she was his only child, he had not another son or
daughter.

(35) And it came to pass when he saw
her, that he rent his garments, and said, Ah, ah, my daughter, thou hast
indeed troubled me, and thou wast the cause of my trouble; and I have
opened my mouth against thee to the Lord, and I shall not be able to
return from it.

(36) And she said to him, Father, hast
thou opened thy mouth to the Lord? Do to me accordingly as the word went
out of thy mouth, in that the Lord has wrought vengeance for thee on
thine enemies of the children of Ammon.

up and down on the mountains, and I will bewail my virginity, I and my

her virginity on the mountains.

(39) And it came to pass at the end of
the two months that she returned to her father; and he performed upon her
his vow which he vowed; and she knew no man:

(40) and it was an ordinance in
Israel, That the daughters of Israel went from year to year to bewail the
daughter of Jephthae the Galaadite for four days in a year.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the men of Ephraim assembled
themselves, and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Wherefore
didst thou go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and didst not
call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house over thee with fire.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Jephthae said to them, I and
my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I
called for you, and ye did not save me out of their hand.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And I saw that thou wert no
helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon;
and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and wherefore are ye come up
against me this day to fight with me?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Jephthae gathered all the men
of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad smote Ephraim,
because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, Ye are of Galaad in the
midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Galaad took the fords of
Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let
us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Art thou an Ephrathite? and he
said, No.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Then they said to him, Say now
Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and
slew him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim
two and forty thousand.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Jephthae judged Israel six
years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city
Galaad.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And after him Abaissan of Bethleem
judged Israel.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he had thirty sons, and thirty
daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his
sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Abaissan died, and was buried
in Bethleem.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And after him Ælom of Zabulon
judged Israel ten years.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Ælom of Zabulon died, and was
buried in Ælom in the land of Zabulon.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And after him Abdon the son of
Ellel, the Pharathonite, judged Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he had forty sons, and thirty
grandsons, that rode upon seventy colts: and he judged Israel eight
years.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Abdon the son of Ellel, the
Pharathonite, died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim in
the mount of Amalec.
13
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the children of Israel yet
again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them
into the hand of the Phylistines forty years.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And there was a man of Saraa, of
the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoe, and his wife
was barren, and bore not.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And an angel of the Lord appeared
to the woman, and said to her, Behold, thou art barren and hast not born;
yet thou shalt conceive a son.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And now be very cautious, and
drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;
(ⲉ̅)
(5) for behold, thou art with child,
and shalt bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head,
for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall
begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the woman went in, and spoke
to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was
as of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he
was, and he did not tell me his name.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And he said to me, Behold, thou
art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor
strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to
God from the womb until the day of his death.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Manoe prayed to the Lord and
said, I pray thee, O Lord my lord, concerning the man of God whom thou
sentest; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do
to the child about to be born.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the Lord heard the voice of
Manoe, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in
the field, and Manoe her husband was not with her.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the woman hasted, and ran,
and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came
in the other day to me has appeared to me.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Manoe arose and followed his
wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that spoke
to the woman? and the angel said, I am.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Manoe said, Now shall thy
word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our
dealings with him?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the angel of the Lord said to
Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall
beware.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) She shall eat of nothing that
comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong
liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have
charged her she shall observe.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Manoe said to the angel of
the Lord, Let us detain thee here, and prepare before thee a kid of the
goats.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the angel of the Lord said to
Manoe, If thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if
thou wouldest offer a whole-burnt-offering, to the Lord thou shalt offer
it: for Manoe knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Manoe said to the angel of
the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy word shall come to pass, we may
glorify thee?
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the angel of the Lord said to
him, Why dost thou thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Manoe took a kid of the goats
and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and the
angel wrought a distinct work, and Manoe and his wife were looking on.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And it came to pass when the
flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord
went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell
upon their face to the earth.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the angel appeared no more to
Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this was an angel of the
Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Manoe said to his wife, We
shall surely die, because we have seen God.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) But his wife said to him, If the
Lord were pleased to slay us, he would not have received of our hand a
whole-burnt-offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shewn us
all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these
things as at this time.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the woman brought forth a
son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord
blessed him.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the Spirit of the Lord began
to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Sampson went down to
Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the
Philistines.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he went up and told his father
and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Thamnatha of the
daughters of the Phylistines; and now take her to me for a wife.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And his father and his mother said
to him, Are there no daughters of thy brethren, and is there not a woman
of all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised
Philistines? And Sampson said to his father, Take her for me, for she is
right in my eyes.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And his father and his mother knew
not that it was of the Lord, that he sought to be revenged on the
Philistines: and at that time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Sampson and his father and his
mother went down to Thamnatha, and he came to the vineyard of Thamnatha;
and behold, a young lion roared in meeting him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the spirit of the Lord came
powerfully upon him, and he crushed him as he would have crushed a kid of
the goats, and there was nothing in his hands: and he told not his father
and his mother what he had done.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And they went down and spoke to
the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And after some time he returned to
take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold,
a swarm of bees, and honey were in the mouth of the lion.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he took it into his hands, and
went on eating, and he went to his father and his mother, and gave to
them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he took the honey out
of the mouth of the lion.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And his father went down to the
woman, and Sampson made there a banquet for seven days, for so the young
men are used to do.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And it came to pass when they saw
him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Sampson said to them, I
propound you a riddle: if ye will indeed tell it me, and discover it
within the seven days of the feast, I will you give thirty sheets and
thirty changes of raiment.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And if ye cannot tell it me, ye
shall give me thirty napkins and thirty changes of apparel: and they said
to him, Propound thy riddle, and we will hear it.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he said to them, Meat came
forth of the eater, and sweetness out of the strong: and they could not
tell the riddle for three days.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And it came to pass on the fourth
day, that they said to the wife of Sampson, Deceive now thy husband, and
let him tell thee the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house
with fire: did ye invite us to do us violence?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Sampson’s wife wept before
him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not; for the riddle
which thou hast propounded to the children of my people thou hast not
told me: and Sampson said to her, If I have not told it to my father and
my mother, shall I tell it to thee?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And she wept before him the seven
days, during which their banquet lasted: and it came to pass on the
seventh day, that he told her, because she troubled him; and she told it
to the children of her people.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the men of the city said to
him on the seventh day, before sunrise, What is sweeter than honey? and
what is stronger than a lion? and Sampson said to them, If ye had not
ploughed with my heifer, ye would not have known my riddle.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the Spirit of the Lord came
upon him powerfully, and he went down to Ascalon, and destroyed of the
inhabitants thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes of
raiment to them that told the riddle; and Sampson was very angry, and
went up to the house of his father.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the wife of Sampson was given
to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after a time,
in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid,
and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father
did not suffer him to go in.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And her father spoke, saying, I
said that thou didst surely hate her, and I gave her to one of thy
friends: is not her younger sister better than she? let her be to thee
instead of her.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Sampson said to them, Even for
once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief
among them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Sampson went and caught three
hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch
between two tails, and fastened it.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he set fire to the torches,
and sent the foxes into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was
burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the
vineyard and olives.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the Philistines said, Who has
done these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite,
because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and
the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father’s house with fire.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Sampson said to them, Though
ye may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and
afterwards I will cease.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he smote them leg on thigh
with a great overthrow; and went down and dwelt in a cave of the rock
Etam.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the Philistines went up, and
encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the men of Juda said, Why are
ye come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind
Sampson, and to do to him as he has done to us.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the three thousand men of
Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson,
Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? and what is this that
thou hast done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so
have I done to them.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And they said to him, We are come
down to bind thee to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines: and
Sampson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall upon me
yourselves.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And they spoke to him, saying,
Nay, but we will only bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand,
and will by no means slay thee: and they bound him with two new ropes,
and brought him from that rock.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And they came to Lechi: and the
Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came
mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow
which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed from off his hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he found the jaw-bone of an
ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and
smote with it a thousand men.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Sampson said, With the
jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone
of an ass I have smitten a thousand men.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And it came to pass when he
ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called
that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And he was very thirsty, and wept
before the Lord, and said, Thou hast been well pleased to grant this
great deliverance by the hand of thy servant, and new shall I die for
thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And God broke open a hollow place
in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit
returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called
‘The well of the invoker,’ which is in Lechi, until this day.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And he judged Israel in the days
of the Philistines twenty years.
16
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Sampson went to Gaza, and saw
there a harlot, and went in to her.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And it was reported to the
Gazites, saying, Sampson is come hither: and they compassed him and laid
wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and they were quiet all
the night, saying, Let us wait till the dawn appear, and we will slay
him.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Sampson slept till midnight,
and rose up at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the gate of the
city with the two posts, and lifted them up with the bar, and laid them
on his shoulders, and he went up to the top of the mountain that is
before Chebron, and laid them there.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it came to pass after this
that he loved a woman in Alsorech, and her name was Dalida.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the princess of the
Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Beguile him, and see wherein
his great strength is, and wherewith we shall prevail against him, and
bind him to humble him; and we will give thee each eleven hundred pieces
of silver.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Dalida said to Sampson, Tell
me, I pray thee, wherein is thy great strength, and wherewith thou shalt
be bound that thou mayest be humbled.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Sampson said to her, If they
bind me with seven moist cords that have not been spoiled, then shall I
be weak and be as one of ordinary men.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the princess of the
Philistines brought to her seven moist cords that had not been spoiled,
and she bound him with them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the liers in wait remained
with her in the chamber; and she said to him, the Philistines are upon
thee, Sampson: and he broke the cords as if any one should break a thread
of tow when it has touched the fire, and his strength was not known.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Dalida said to Sampson,
Behold, thou hast cheated me, and told me lies; now then tell me
wherewith thou shalt be bound.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And he said to her, If they
should bind me fast with new ropes with which work has not been done,
then shall I be weak, and shall be as another man.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Dalida took new ropes, and
bound him with them, and the liers in wait came out of the chamber, and
she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Sampson: and he broke them off
his arms like a thread.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Dalida said to Sampson,
Behold, thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; tell me, I intreat thee,
wherewith thou mayest be bound: and he said to her, If thou shouldest
weave the seven locks of my head with the web, and shouldest fasten them
with the pin into the wall, then shall I be weak as another man.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And it came to pass when he was
asleep, that Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with
the web, and fastened them with the pin into the wall, and she said, The
Philistines are upon thee, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep, and
carried away the pin of the web out of the wall.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Dalida said to Sampson, How
sayest thou, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? this third time
thou hast deceived me, and hast not told me wherein is thy great
strength.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And it came to pass as she
pressed him sore with her words continually, and straitened him, that his
spirit failed almost to death.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Then he told her all his heart,
and said to her, A razor has not come upon my head, because I have been a
holy one of God from my mother’s womb; if then I should be shaven, my
strength will depart from me, and I shall be weak, and I shall be as all
other men.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Dalida saw that he told her
all his heart, and she sent and called the princess of the Philistines,
saying, Come up yet this once; for he has told me all his heart. And the
chiefs of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their
hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Dalida made Sampson sleep
upon her knees; and she called a man, and he shaved the seven locks of
his head, and she began to humble him, and his strength departed from
him.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Dalida said, The Philistines
are upon thee, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep and said, I will go
out as at former times, and shake myself; and he knew not that the Lord
was departed from him.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the Philistines took him, and
put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with
fetters of brass; and he ground in the prison-house.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the hair of his head began to
grow as before it was shaven.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the chiefs of the Philistines
met to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to make merry; and
they said, God has given into our hand our enemy Sampson.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the people saw him, and sang
praises to their god; for our god, said they, has delivered into our hand
our enemy, who wasted our land, and who multiplied our slain.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And when their heart was merry,
then they said, Call Sampson out of the prison-house, and let him play
before us: and they called Sampson out of the prison-house, and he played
before them; and they smote him with the palms of their hands, and set
him between the pillars.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Sampson said to the young man
that held his hand, Suffer me to feel the pillars on which the house
rests, and I will stay myself upon them.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And the house was full of men and
woman, and there were all the chiefs of the Philistines, and on the roof
were about three thousand men and woman looking at the sports of Sampson.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Sampson wept before the Lord,
and said, O Lord, my lord, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, O
God, yet this once, and I will requite one recompense to the Philistines
for my two eyes.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Sampson took hold of the two
pillars of the house on which the house stood, and leaned on them, and
laid hold of one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Sampson said, Let my wife
perish with the Philistines: and he bowed himself mightily; and the house
fell upon the princes, and upon all the people that were in it: and the
dead whom Sampson slew in his death were more than those whom he slew in
his life.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And his brethren and his father’s
house went down, and they took him; and they went up and buried him
between Saraa and Esthaol in the sepulchre of his father Manoe; and he
judged Israel twenty years.
17
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And there was a man of mount
Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he said to his mother, The
eleven hundred pieces of silver which thou tookest of thyself, and about
which thou cursedst me, and spokest in my ears, behold, the silver is
with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed be my son of the Lord.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And he restored the eleven hundred
pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I had wholly
consecrated the money to the Lord out of my hand for my son, to make a
graven and a molten image, and now I will restore it to thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) But he returned the silver to his
mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them
to a silversmith, and he made it a graven and a molten image; and it was
in the house of Michaias.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the house of Michaias was to
him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he
consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And in those days there was no
king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And there was a young man in
Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he was a Levite, and he was sojourning
there.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the man departed from Bethleem
the city of Juda to sojourn in whatever place he might find; and he came
as far as mount Ephraim, and to the house of Michaias to accomplish his
journey.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Michaias said to him, Whence
comest thou? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go
to sojourn in any place I may find.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Michaias said to him, Dwell
with me, and be to me a father and a priest; and I will give thee ten
pieces of silver by the year, and a change of raiment, and thy living.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the Levite went and began to
dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Michaias consecrated the
Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of
Michaias.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Michaias said, Now I know
that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
18
(ⲁ̅)
(1) In those days there was no king in
Israel; and in those days the tribe of Dan sought for itself an
inheritance to inhabit, because no inheritance had fallen to it until
that day in the midst of the tribes of the children of Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the sons of Dan sent from
their families five men of valour, from Saraa and from Esthaol, to spy
out the land and to search it; and they said to them, Go and search out
the land. And they came as far as the mount of Ephraim to the house of
Michaias and they lodged there,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) in the house of Michaias, and they
recognised the voice of the young man the Levite, and turned in thither;
and said to him, Who brought thee in hither? and what doest thou in this
place? and what hast thou here?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And he said to them, Thus and thus
did Michaias to me, and he hired me, and I became his priest
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And they said to him, Enquire now
of God, and we shall know whether our way will prosper, on which we are
going.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the priest said to them, Go in
peace; your way in which ye go, is before the Lord.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the five men went on, and came
to Laisa; and they saw the people in the midst of it dwelling securely,
at ease as is the manner of the Sidonians, and there is no one perverting
or shaming a matter in the land, no heir extorting treasures; and they
are far from the Sidonians, and they have no intercourse with any one.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the five men came to their
brethren to Saraa and Esthaol, and said to their brethren, Why sit ye
here idle?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And they said, Arise, and let us
go up against them, for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very
good, yet ye are still: delay not to go, an to enter in to possess the
land.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And whensoever ye shall go, ye
shall come in upon a people secure, and the land is extensive, for God
has given it into your hand; a place where there is no want of anything
that the earth affords.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And there departed thence of the
families of Dan, from Saraa and from Esthaol, six hundred men, girded
with weapons of war.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And they went up, and encamped in
Cariathiarim in Juda; therefore it was called in that place the camp of
Dan, until this day: behold, it is behind Cariathiarim.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And they went on thence to the
mount of Ephraim, and came to the house of Michaias.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the five men who went to spy
out the land of Laisa answered, and said to their brethren, Ye know that
there is in this place an ephod, and theraphin, and a graven and a molten
image; and now consider what ye shall do.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And they turned aside there, and
went into the house of the young man, the Levite, even into the house of
Michaias, and asked him how he was.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the six hundred men of the
sons of Dan who were girded with their weapons of war stood by the door
of the gate.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the five men who went to spy
out the land went up, and entered into the house of Michaias, and the
priest stood.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And they took the graven image,
and the ephod, and the theraphin, and the molten image; and the priest
said to them, What are ye doing?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And they said to him, Be silent,
lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father
and a priest: is it better for thee to be the priest of the house of one
man, or to be the priest of a tribe and house for a family of Israel?
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the heart of the priest was
glad, and he took the ephod, and the theraphin, and the graven image, and
the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) So they turned and departed, and
put their children and their property and their baggage before them.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) They went some distance from the
house of Michaias, and, behold, Michaias and the men in the houses near
Michaias’ house, cried out, and overtook the children of Dan.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the children of Dan turned
their face, and said to Michaias, What is the matter with thee that thou
hast cried out?
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Michaias said, Because ye
have taken my graven image which I made, and my priest, and are gone; and
what have I remaining? and what is this that ye say to me, Why criest
thou?
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the children of Dan said to
him, Let not thy voice be heard with us, lest angry men run upon thee,
and take away thy life, and the lives of thy house.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the children of Dan went
their way; and Michaias saw that they were stronger than himself, and he
returned to his house.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And the children of Dan took what
Michaias had made, and the priest that he had, and they came to Laisa, to
a people quiet and secure; and they smote them with the edge of the
sword, and burnt the city with fire.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And there was no deliverer,
because the city is far from the Sidonians, and they have no intercourse
with men, and it is in the valley of the house of Raab; and they built
the city, and dwelt in it.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And they called the name of the
city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; and
the name of the city was Ulamais before.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And the children of Dan set up
the graven image for themselves; and Jonathan son of Gerson son of
Manasse, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan till the time
of the carrying away of the nation.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And they set up for themselves
the graven image which Michaias made, all the days that the house of God
was in Selom; and it was so in those days that there was no king in
Israel.
19
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And there was a Levite sojourning
in the sides of mount Ephraim, and he took to himself a concubine from
Bethleem Juda.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And his concubine departed from
him, and went away from him to the house of her father to Bethleem Juda,
and she was there four months.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And her husband rose up, and went
after her to speak kindly to her, to recover her to himself; and he had
his young man with him, and a pair of asses; and she brought him into the
house of her father; and the father of the damsel saw him, and was well
pleased to meet him.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And his father-in-law, the father
of the damsel, constrained him, and he stayed with him for three days;
and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And it came to pass on the fourth
day that they rose early, and he stood up to depart; and the father of
the damsel said to his son-in-law, Strengthen thy heart with a morsel of
bread, and afterwards ye shall go.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) So they two sat down together and
ate and drank: and the father of the damsel said to her husband, Tarry
now the night, and let thy heart be merry.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the man rose up to depart; but
his father-in-law constrained him, and he stayed and lodged there.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he rose early in the morning
on the fifth day to depart; and the father of the damsel said, Strengthen
now thine heart, and quit thyself as a soldier till the day decline; and
the two ate.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the man rose up to depart, he
and his concubine, and his young man; but his father-in-law the father of
the damsel said to him, Behold now, the day has declined toward evening;
lodge here, an let thy heart rejoice; and ye shall rise early to-morrow
for your journey, and thou shalt go to thy habitation.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But the man would not lodge
there, but he arose and departed, and came to the part opposite Jebus,
(this is Jerusalem,) and there was with him a pair of asses saddled, and
his concubine was with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they came as far as Jebus:
and the day had far advanced, and the young man said to his master, Come,
I pray thee, and let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites, and let
us lodge in it.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And his master said to him, We
will not turn aside to a strange city, where there is not one of the
children of Israel, but we will pass on as far as Gabaa.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he said to his young man,
Come, and let us draw nigh to one of the places, and we will lodge in
Gabaa or in Rama.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And they passed by and went on,
and the sun went down upon them near to Gabaa, which is in Benjamin.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And they turned aside thence to
go in to lodge in Gabaa; and they went in, and sat down in the street of
the city, and there was no one who conducted them into a house to lodge.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And behold, an old man came out
of the field from his work in the evening; and the man was of mount
Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gabaa, and the men of the place were sons of
Benjamin.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he lifted up his eyes, and
saw a traveller in the street of the city; and the old man said to him,
Whither goest thou, and whence comest thou?
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And he said to him, We are
passing by from Bethleem Juda to the sides of mount Ephraim: I am from
thence, and I went as far as Bethleem Juda, and I am going home, and
there is no man to take me into his house.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Yet is there straw and food for
our asses, and bread and wine for me and my handmaid and the young man
with thy servants; there is no want of anything.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the old man said, Peace be to
thee; only be every want of thine upon me, only do thou by no means lodge
in the street.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And he brought him into his
house, and made room for his asses; and they washed their feet, and ate
and drank.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And they were comforting their
heart, when, behold, the men of the city, sons of transgressors,
compassed the house, knocking at the door: and they spoke to the old man
the owner of the house, saying, Bring out the man who came into thy
house, that we may know him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the master of the house came
out to them, and said, Nay, brethren, do not ye wrong, I pray you, after
this man has come into my house; do not ye this folly.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Behold my daughter a virgin, and
the man’s concubine: I will bring them out, and humble ye them, and do to
them that which is good in your eyes; but to this man do not this folly.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) But the men would not consent to
hearken to him; so the man laid hold of his concubine, and brought her
out to them; and they knew her, and abused her all night till the
morning, and let her go when the morning dawned.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the woman came toward
morning, and fell down at the door of the house where her husband was,
until it was light.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And her husband rose up in the
morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went forth to go on his
journey; and, behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down by the
doors of the house, and her hands were on the threshold.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And he said to her, Rise, and let
us go; and she answered not, for she was dead: and he took her upon his
ass, and went to his place.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And he took his sword, and laid
hold of his concubine, and divided her into twelve parts, and sent them
to every coast of Israel.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And it was so, that every one who
saw it said, Such a day as this has not happened nor has been seen from
the day of the going up of the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt until this day: take ye counsel concerning it, and speak.
20
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And all the children of Israel
went out, and all the congregation was gathered as one man, from Dan even
to Bersabee, and in the land of Galaad, to the Lord at Massepha.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And all the tribes of Israel stood
before the Lord in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred
thousand footmen that drew sword.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the children of Benjamin heard
that the children of Israel were gone up to Massepha: and the children of
Israel came and said, Tell us, where did this wickedness take place?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the Levite, the husband of the
woman that was slain, answered and said, I and my concubine went to Gabaa
of Benjamin to lodge.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the men of Gabaa rose up
against me, and compassed the house by night against me; they wished to
slay me, and they have humbled my concubine, and she is dead.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And I laid hold of my concubine,
and divided her in pieces, and sent the parts into every coast of the
inheritance of the children of Israel; for they have wrought lewdness and
abomination in Israel.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Behold, all ye are children of
Israel; and consider and take counsel here among yourselves.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And all the people rose up as one
man, saying, No one of us shall return to his tent, and no one of us
shall return to his house.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And now this is the thing which
shall be done in Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Moreover we will take ten men for
a hundred for all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred for a thousand, and
a thousand for ten thousand, to take provision, to cause them to come to
Gabaa of Benjamin, to do to it according to all the abomination, which
they wrought in Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And all the men of Israel were
gathered to the city as one man.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the tribes of Israel sent men
through the whole tribe of Benjamin, saying, What is this wickedness that
has been wrought among you?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Now then give up the men the sons
of transgressors that are in Gabaa, and we will put them to death, and
purge out wickedness from Israel: but the children of Benjamin consented
not to hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the children of Benjamin were
gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with the
children of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the children of Benjamin from
their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, every man
drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered
seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) All these could sling with stones
at a hair, and not miss.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the men of Israel, exclusive
of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all
these were men of war.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And they arose and went up to
Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall
go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord
said, Juda shall go up first as leader.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the children of Israel rose
up in the morning, and encamped against Gabaa.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And they went out, all the men of
Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the sons of Benjamin went
forth from Gabaa, and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty
thousand men down to the ground.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the men of Israel
strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where
they had engaged on the first day.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the children of Israel went
up, and wept before the Lord till evening, and enquired of the Lord,
saying, Shall we again draw nigh to battle with our brethren the children
of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up against them.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the children of Israel
advanced against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the children of Benjamin went
forth to meet them from Gabaa on the second day, and destroyed of the
children of Israel yet further eighteen thousand men down to the ground:
all these drew sword.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the children of Israel and
all the people went up, and came to Baethel; and they wept, and sat there
before the Lord; and they fasted on that day until evening, and offered
whole-burnt-offerings and perfect sacrifices, before the Lord,
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) for the ark of the Lord God was
there in those days,
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) and Phinees the son of Eleazar
the son of Aaron stood before it in those days; and the children of
Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we yet again go forth to fight
with our brethren the sons of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up,
to-morrow I will give them into your hands.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And the children of Israel set an
ambush against Gabaa round about it.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And the children of Israel went
up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and arrayed
themselves against Gabaa as before.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And the children of Benjamin went
out to meet the people, and were all drawn out of the city, and began to
smite and slay the people as before in the roads, whereof one goes up to
Baethel, and one to Gabaa in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And the children of Benjamin
said, They fall before us as at the first: but the children of Israel
said, Let us flee, and draw them out from the city into the roads; and
they did so.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And all the men rose up out of
their places, and engaged in Baal Thamar; and the liers in wait of Israel
advanced from their place from Maraagabe.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And there came over against Gabaa
ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel; and the fight was severe; and
they knew not that evil was coming upon them.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And the Lord smote Benjamin
before the children of Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of
Benjamin in that day a hundred and twenty-five thousand men: all these
drew sword.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And the children of Benjamin saw
that they were smitten; and the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin,
because they trusted in the ambuscade which they had prepared against
Gabaa.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And when they retreated, then the
liers in wait rose up, and they moved toward Gabaa, and the whole ambush
came forth, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And the children of Israel had a
signal of battle with the liers in wait, that they should send up a
signal of smoke from the city.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And the children of Israel saw
that the liers in wait had seized Gabaa, and they stood in line of
battle; and Benjamin began to smite down wounded ones among the men of
Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they fall again before us,
as in the first battle.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And the signal went up
increasingly over the city as a pillar of smoke; and Benjamin looked
behind him, and behold the destruction of the city went up to heaven.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And the men of Israel turned
back, and the men of Benjamin hasted, because they saw that evil had come
upon them.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And they turned to the way of the
wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle
overtook them, and they from the cities destroyed them in the midst of
them.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And they cut down Benjamin, and
pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gabaa on the east.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) And there fell of Benjamin
eighteen thousand men: all these were men of might.
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(45) And the rest turned, and fled to
the wilderness to the rock of Remmon; and the children of Israel picked
off of them five thousand men; and the children of Israel went down after
them as far as Gedan, and they smote of them two thousand men.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅)
(46) And all that fell of Benjamin
were twenty-five thousand men that drew sword in that day: all these were
men of might.
(ⲙ̅ⲍ̅)
(47) And the rest turned, and fled to
the wilderness to the rock of Remmon, even six hundred men; and they
sojourned four months in the rock of Remmon.
(ⲙ̅ⲏ̅)
(48) And the children of Israel
returned to the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the
sword from the city of Methla, even to the cattle, and every thing that
was found in all the cities: and they burnt with fire the cities they
found.
21
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now the children of Israel swore
in Massephath, saying, No man of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin
for a wife.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the people came to Baethel,
and sat there until evening before God: and they lifted up their voice
and wept with a great weeping;
(ⲅ̅)
(3) and said, Wherefore, O Lord God of
Israel, has this come to pass, that to-day one tribe should be counted as
missing from Israel?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it came to pass on the morrow
that the people rose up early, and built there an altar, and offered up
whole-burnt-offerings and peace offerings.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the children of Israel said,
Who of all the tribes of Israel, went not up in the congregation to the
Lord? for there was a great oath concerning those who went not up to the
Lord to Massephath, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the children of Israel
relented toward Benjamin their brother, and said, To-day one tribe is cut
off from Israel.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) What shall we do for wives for the
rest that remain? whereas we have sworn by the Lord, not to give them of
our daughters for wives.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they said, What one man is
there of the tribes of Israel, who went not up to the Lord to Massephath?
and, behold, no man came to the camp from Jabis Galaad to the assembly.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the people were numbered, and
there was not there a man from the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the congregation sent thither
twelve thousand men of the strongest, and they charged them, saying, Go
ye and smite the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad with the edge of the sword.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And this shall ye do: every male
and every woman that has known the lying with man ye shall devote to
destruction, but the virgins ye shall save alive: and they did so.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And they found among the
inhabitants of Jabis Galaad four hundred young virgins, who had not known
man by lying with him; and they brought them to Selom in the land of
Chanaan.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And all the congregation sent and
spoke to the children of Benjamin in the rock Remmon, and invited them to
make peace.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Benjamin returned to the
children of Israel at that time, and the children of Israel gave them the
women whom they had save alive of the daughters of Jabis Galaad; and they
were content.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the people relented for
Benjamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the elders of the
congregation said, What shall we do for wives for them that remain? for
the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And they said, There must be an
inheritance of them that are escaped of Benjamin; and so a tribe shall
not be destroyed out of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For we shall not be able to give
them wives of our daughters, because we swore among the children of
Israel, saying, Cursed is he that gives a wife to Benjamin.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And they said, Lo! now there is a
feast of the Lord from year to year in Selom, which is on the north of
Baethel, eastward on the way that goes up from Baethel to Sychem, and
from the south of Lebona.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And they charged the children of
Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) and ye shall see; and lo! if
there come out the daughters of the inhabitants of Selom to dance in
dances, then shall ye go out of the vineyards and seize for yourselves
every man a wife of the daughters of Selom, and go ye into the land of
Benjamin.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And it shall come to pass, when
their fathers or their brethren come to dispute with us, that we will say
to them, Grant them freely to us, for we have not taken every man his
wife in the battle: because ye did not give to them according to the
occasion, ye transgressed.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the children of Benjamin did
so; and they took wives according to their number from the dancers whom
they seized: and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built
the cities, and dwelt in them.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the children of Israel went
thence at that time every man to his tribe and his kindred; and they went
thence every man to his inheritance.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And in those days there was no
king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own sight.
Ruth
1 2 3 4
1
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass when the
judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land: and a man went from
Bethleem Juda to sojourn in the land of Moab, he, and his wife, and his
two sons.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the man’s name was Elimelech,
and his wife’s name Noemin, and the names of his two sons Maalon and
Chelaion, Ephrathites of Bethleem of Juda: and they came to the land of
Moab, and remained there.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Elimelech the husband of
Noemin died; and she was left, and her two sons.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they took to themselves wives,
women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpha, and the name of the second
Ruth; and they dwelt there about ten years.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And both Maalon and Chelaion died
also; and the woman was left of her husband and her two sons.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And she rose up and her two
daughters-in-law, and they returned out of the country of Moab, for she
heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited his people to give
them bread.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And she went forth out of the
place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her: and they went
by the way to return to the land of Juda.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Noemin said to her
daughter-in-law, Go now, return each to the house of her mother: the Lord
deal mercifully with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The Lord grant you that ye may
find rest each of you in the house of her husband: and she kissed them;
and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they said to her, We will
return with thee to thy people.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Noemin said, Return now, my
daughters; and why do ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb to be
your husbands?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Turn now, my daughters, for I am
too old to be married: for I said, Suppose I were married, and should
bear sons;
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) would ye wait for them till they
should be grown? or would ye refrain from being married for their sakes?
Not so, my daughters; for I am grieved for you, that the hand of the Lord
has gone forth against me.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And they lifted up their voice,
and wept again; and Orpha kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her
people; but Ruth followed her.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold,
thy sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods; turn now
thou also after thy sister-in-law.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Ruth said, Intreat me not to
leave thee, or to return from following thee; for whithersoever thou
goest, I will go, and wheresoever thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my God.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And wherever thou diest, I will
die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if
I leave thee, for death only shall divide between me and thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Noemin seeing that she was
determined to go with her, ceased to speak to her any more.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And they went both of them until
they came to Bethleem: and it came to pass, when they arrived at
Bethleem, that all the city rang with them, and they said, Is this
Noemin?
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And she said to them, Nay, do not
call me Noemin; call me ‘Bitter,’ for the Mighty One has dealt very
bitterly with me.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) I went out full, and the Lord has
brought me back empty: and why call ye me Noemin, whereas the Lord has
humbled me and the Mighty One has afflicted me?
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) So Noemin and Ruth the Moabitess,
her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab; and they came to
Bethleem in the beginning of barley harvest.
2
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Noemin had a friend an
acquaintance of her husband, and the man was a mighty man of the kindred
of Elimelech, and his name was Booz.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Ruth the Moabitess said to
Noemin, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean among the ears
behind the man with whomsoever I shall find favour: and she said to her,
Go, daughter.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And she went; and came and gleaned
in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a
portion of the land of Booz, of the kindred of Elimelech.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And, behold, Booz came from
Bethleem, and said to the reapers, The Lord be with you: and they said to
him, The Lord bless thee.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Booz said to his servant who
was set over the reapers, Whose is this damsel?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And his servant who was set over
the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned
with Noemin out of the land of Moab.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And she said, I pray you, let me
glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and
stood from morning till evening, and rested not even a little in the
field.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Booz said to Ruth, Hast thou
not heard, my daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not
thou hence, join thyself here with my damsels.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Let thine eyes be on the field
where my men shall reap, and thou shalt go after them: behold, I have
charged the young men not to touch thee: and when you shalt thirst, then
thou shalt go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall
have drawn.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And she fell upon her face, and
did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found
grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take notice of me, whereas I am
a stranger?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Booz answered and said to
her, It has fully been told me how thou hast dealt with thy mother-in-law
after the death of thy husband; and how thou didst leave thy father and
thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and camest to a people whom thou
knewest not before.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) The Lord recompense thy work; may
a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, to whom thou hast
come to trust under his wings.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And she said, Let me find grace
in thy sight, my lord, because thou hast comforted me, and because thou
hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, and behold, I shall be as one of thy
servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Booz said to her, Now it is
time to eat; come hither, and thou shalt eat of the bread, and thou shalt
dip thy morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers:
and Booz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And she rose up to glean; and
Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves,
and reproach her not.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And do ye by all means carry it
for her, and ye shall surely let fall for her some of that which is
heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) So she gleaned in the field till
evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of
barely.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And she took it up, and went into
the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth
brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she
had been satisfied with.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And her mother-in-law said to
her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day, and where hast thou wrought? blessed
be he that took notice of thee. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she
had wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought to-day is
Booz.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Noemin said to her
daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in
his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Noemin said to her, The
man is near akin to us, he is one of our relations.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Ruth said to her
mother-in-law, Yea, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until
the men shall have finished all my reaping.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Noemin said to Ruth her
daughter-in-law, It is well, daughter, that thou wentest out with his
damsels; thus they shall not meet thee in another field.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Ruth joined herself to the
damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley-harvest and
the wheat-harvest.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And she lodged with her
mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter,
shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And now is not Booz our kinsman,
with whose damsels thou wast? behold, he winnows barley this night in the
floor.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But do thou wash, and anoint
thyself, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go up to the threshing-floor:
do not discover thyself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it shall come to pass when he
lies down, that thou shalt mark the place where he lies down, and shalt
come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shalt lie down; and he
shall tell thee what thou shalt do.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Ruth said to her, All that
thou shalt say, I will do.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And she went down to the
threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined
her.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Booz ate and drank, and his
heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn;
and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And it came to pass at midnight
that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his
feet.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he said, Who art thou? and she
said, I am thine handmaid Ruth; spread therefore thy skirt over thine
handmaid, for thou art a near relation.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Booz said, Blessed be thou of
the Lord God, my daughter, for thou hast made thy latter kindness greater
than the former, in that thou followest not after young men, whether any
be poor or rich.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And now fear not, my daughter,
whatever thou shalt say I will do to thee; for all the tribe of my people
knows that thou art a virtuous woman.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And now I am truly akin to thee;
nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Lodge here for the night, and it
shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to thee,
well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee,
I will do the kinsman’s part to thee, as the Lord lives; lie down till
the morning.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And she lay at his feet until the
morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbour; and Booz
said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he said to her, Bring the
apron that is upon thee: and she held it, and he measured six measures of
barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Ruth went in to her
mother-in-law, and she said to her, My daughter! and Ruth told her all
that the man had done to her.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And she said to her, He gave me
these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to thy
mother-in-law.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And she said, Sit still, my
daughter, until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man
will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Booz went up to the gate, and
sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and
Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned
aside and sat down.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Booz took ten men of the
elders of the city, and said, Sit ye here; and they sat down.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Booz said to the relative, The
matter regards the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech’s
which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) and I said, I will inform thee,
saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people:
if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell
me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside thee to do the office of
a kinsman, and I am after thee: and he said, I am here, I will redeem it.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Booz said, In the day of thy
buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife
of the deceased, thou must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of
the dead upon his inheritance.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the kinsman said, I shall not
be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do thou
redeem my right for thyself, for I shall not be able to redeem it.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And this was in former time the
ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every
word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour that redeemed
his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy
my right for thyself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Booz said to the elders and to
all the people, Ye are this day witnesses, that I have bought all that
was Elimelech’s, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the
hand of Noemin.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Moreover I have bought for myself
for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name
of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be
destroyed from among his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: ye
are this day witnesses.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And all the people who were in
the gate said, We are witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make thy
wife who goes into thy house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both together
built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there
shall be a name to thee in Bethleem.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And let thy house be as the house
of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall
give thee of this handmaid.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Booz took Ruth, and she
became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception,
and she bore a son.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the woman said to Noemin,
Blessed is the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail thee this
day, even to make thy name famous in Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he shall be to thee a
restorer of thy soul, and one to cherish thy old age; for thy
daughter-in-law which has loved thee, who is better to thee than seven
sons, has born him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Noemin took the child and
laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the neighbours gave it a
name, saying, A son has been born to Noemin; and they called his name
Obed; this is the father of Jessae the father of David.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And these are the generations of
Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot
Aminadab.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Aminadab begot Naasson; and
Naasson begot Salmon.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz
begot Obed.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae
begot David.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) There was a man of Armathaim
Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the
son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he had two wives; the name of
the one was Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had
children, but Anna had no child.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the man went up from year to
year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord
God of Sabaoth at Selom: and there were Heli and his two sons Ophni and
Phinees, the priests of the Lord.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the day came, and Helkana
sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And to Anna he gave a prime
portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the
other; but the Lord had closed her womb.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For the Lord gave her no child in
her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and
she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as
not to give her a child.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) So she did year by year, in going
up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did
not eat.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Helkana her husband said to
her, Anna: and she said to him, Here am I, my lord: and he said to her,
What ails thee that thou weepest? and why dost thou not eat? and why does
thy heart smite thee? am I not better to thee than ten children?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Anna rose up after they had
eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest was on a
seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And she was very much grieved in
spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And she vowed a vow to the Lord,
saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if thou welt indeed look upon the
humiliation of thine handmaid, and remember me, and give to thine
handmaid a man-child, then will I indeed dedicate him to thee till the
day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no
razor shall come upon his head.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And it came to pass, while she
was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And she was speaking in her
heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli
accounted her a drunken woman.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the servant of Heli said to
her, How long wilt thou be drunken? take away thy wine from thee, and go
out from the presence of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Anna answered and said, Nay,
my lord, I live in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink,
and I pour out my soul before the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Count not thy handmaid for a
pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have
continued my prayer until now.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Heli answered and said to
her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give thee all thy petition, which
thou hast asked of him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And she said, Thine handmaid has
found favour in thine eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into
her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was
no more sad.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And they rise early in the
morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went
into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord
remembered her, and she conceived.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And it came to pass when the time
was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and
said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the man Helkana and all his
house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and
all the tithes of his land.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) But Anna did not go up with him,
for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child goes up,
when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he
shall abide there continually.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Helkana her husband said to
her, Do that which is good in thine eyes, abide still until thou shalt
have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of thy
mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned
him.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And she went up with him to Selom
with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour,
and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in
Selom, and the child with them.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And they brought him before the
Lord; and his father slew his offering which he offered from year to year
to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and slew the calf; and Anna
the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And she said, I pray thee, my
lord, as thy soul liveth, I am the woman that stood in thy presence with
thee while praying to the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For this child I prayed; and the
Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And I lend him to the Lord all
his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,

The Lord has gone up to the heavens, and has thundered: he will judge the
extremities of the earth, and he gives strength to our kings, and will

(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
And she left him there before the Lord, (11) and departed to Armathaim: and the child
ministered in the presence of the Lord before Heli the priest.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the sons of Heli the priest
were evil sons, not knowing the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the priest’s claim from every
one of the people that sacrificed was this: the servant of the priest
came when the flesh was in seething, and a flesh-hook of three teeth was
in his hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he struck it into the great
caldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up
with the flesh-hook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all
Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Selom.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And before the fat was burnt for
a sweet savour, the servant of the priest would come, and say to the man
that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, and I will by no
means take of thee sodden flesh out of the caldron.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And if the man that sacrificed
said, First let the fat be burned, as it is fit, and take for thyself of
all things which thy soul desires: then he would say, Nay, for thou shalt
give it me now; and if not I will take it by force.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) So the sin of the young men was
very great before the Lord, for they set at nought the offering of the
Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Samuel ministered before the
Lord, a child girt with a linen ephod.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And his mother made him a little
doublet, and brought it to him from year to year, in her going up in
company with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Heli blessed Helcana and his
wife, saying The Lord recompense to thee seed of this woman, in return
for the loan which thou hast lent to the Lord: and the man returned to
his place.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the Lord visited Anna, and
she bore yet three sons, and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew
before the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Heli was very old, and he
heard what his sons did to the children of Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And he said to them, Why do ye
according to this thing, which I hear from the mouth of all the people of
the Lord?
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Nay my sons, for the report which
I hear is not good; do not so, for the reports which I hear are not good,
so that the people do not serve God.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) If a man should at all sin
against another, then shall they pray for him to the Lord; but if a man
sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? But they hearkened not
to the voice of their father, because the Lord would by all means destroy
them.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the child Samuel advanced,
and was in favour with God and with men.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And a man of God came to Heli,
and said, Thus says the Lord, I plainly revealed myself to the house of
thy father, when they were servants in Egypt to the house of Pharao.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And I chose the house of thy
father out of all the tribes of Israel to minister to me in the priest’s
office, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, and to wear an ephod.
And I gave to the house of thy father all the offerings by fire of the
children of Israel for food.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And wherefore hast thou looked
upon my incense-offering and my meat-offering with a shameless eye, and
hast honoured thy sons above me, so that they should bless themselves
with the first-fruits of every sacrifice of Israel before me?
(ⲗ̅)
(30) Therefore thus says the Lord God
of Israel, I said, Thy house and the house of thy father shall pass
before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I
will only honour them that honour me, and he that sets me at nought shall
be despised.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) Behold, the days come when I will
destroy thy seed and the seed of thy father’s house.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And thou shalt not have an old
man in my house for ever.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And if I do not destroy a man of
thine from my altar, it shall be that his eyes may fail and his soul may
perish; and every one that remains in thy house shall fall by the sword
of men.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And this which shall come upon
thy two sons Ophni and Phinees shall be a sign to thee; in one day they
shall both die.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And I will raise up to myself a
faithful priest, who shall do all that is in my heart and in my soul; and
I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before my Christ for
ever.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And it shall come to pass that he
that survives in thy house, shall come to do obeisance before him for a
little piece of silver, saying, Put me into one of thy priest’s offices
to eat bread.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the child Samuel ministered to
the Lord before Heli the priest: and the word of the Lord was precious in
those days, there was no distinct vision.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And it came to pass at that time
that Heli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes began to fail, and
could not see.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the lamp of God was burning
before it was trimmed, and Samuel slept in the temple, where was the ark
of God.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the Lord called, Samuel,
Samuel; and he said, Behold, here am I.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he ran to Heli, and said, Here
am I, for thou didst call me: and he said, I did not call thee; return,
go to sleep; and he returned and went to sleep.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the Lord called again, Samuel,
Samuel: and he went to Heli the second time, and said, Behold here am I,
for thou didst call me: and he said, I called thee not; return, go to
sleep.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And it was before Samuel knew the
Lord, and before the word of the Lord was revealed to him.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the Lord called Samuel again
for the third time: and he arose and went to Heli, and said, Behold, I am
here, for thou didst call me: and Heli perceived that the Lord had called
the child.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he said, Return, child, go to
sleep; and it shall come to pass if he shall call thee, that thou shalt
say, Speak for thy servant hears: and Samuel went and lay down in his
place.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the Lord came, and stood, and
called him as before: and Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the Lord said to Samuel,
Behold, I execute my words in Israel; whoever hears them, both his ears
shall tingle.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) In that day I will raise up
against Heli all things that I have said against his house; I will begin,
and I will make an end.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And I have told him that I will
be avenged on his house perpetually for the iniquities of his sons,
because his sons spoke evil against God, and he did not admonish them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And it shall not go on so; I have
sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be
atoned for with incense or sacrifices for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Samuel slept till morning,
and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the
Lord; and Samuel feared to tell Heli the vision.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Heli said to Samuel, Samuel,
my son; and he said, Behold, here am I.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he said, What was the word
that was spoken to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: may God do
these things to thee, and more also, if thou hide from me any thing of
all the words that were spoken to thee in thine ears.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Samuel reported all the
words, and hid them not from him. And Heli said, He is the Lord, he shall
do that which is good in his sight.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Samuel grew, and the Lord was
with him, and there did not fall one of his words to the ground.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And all Israel knew from Dan even
to Bersabee, that Samuel was faithful as a prophet to the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the Lord manifested himself
again in Selom, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel; and Samuel was
accredited to all Israel as a prophet to the Lord from one end of the
land to the other: and Heli was very old, and his sons kept advancing in
wickedness, and their way was evil before the Lord.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass in those days
that the Philistines gathered themselves together against Israel to war;
and Israel went out to meet them and encamped at Abenezer, and the
Philistines encamped in Aphec.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Philistines prepare to
fight with Israel, and the battle was turned against them; and the men of
Israel fell before the Philistines, and there were smitten in the battle
in the field four thousand men.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the people came to the camp,
and the elders of Israel said, Why has the Lord caused us to fall this
day before the Philistines? let us take the ark of our God out of Selom,
and let it proceed from the midst of us, and it shall save us from the
hand of our enemies.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the people sent to Selom, and
they take thence the ark of the Lord who dwells between the cherubs: and
both the sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And it came to pass when the ark
of the Lord entered into the camp, that all Israel cried out with a loud
voice, and the earth resounded.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the Philistines heard the cry,
and the Philistines said, What is this great cry in the camp of the
Hebrews: and they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the
camp.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the Philistines feared, and
said, These are the Gods that are come to them into the camp.
(8) Woe to us, O Lord, deliver us
to-day for such a thing has not happened aforetime:
(ⲏ̅)
woe to us, who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods?
these are the Gods that smote Egypt with every plague, and in the
wilderness.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Strengthen yourselves and behave
yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye may not serve the Hebrews
as they have served us, but be ye men and fight with them.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they fought with them; and
the men of Israel fall, and they fled every man to his ten; and there was
a very great slaughter; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand fighting
men.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the ark of God was taken, and
both the sons of Heli, Ophni, and Phinees, died.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And there ran a man of Benjamin
out of the battle, and he came to Selom on that day: and his clothes were
rent, and earth was upon his head.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he came, an behold, Heli was
upon the seat by the gate looking along the way, for his heart was
greatly alarmed for the ark of God: and the man entered into the city to
bring tidings; and the city cried out.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Heli heard the sound of the
cry, and said, What is the voice of this cry? and the men hasted and went
in, and reported to Heli.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Now Heli was ninety years old,
and his eyes were fixed, and he saw not. (16) And Heli said to them that stood round about
him, What is the voice of this sound?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
And the man hasted and advanced to Heli, and said to him, I am he that is
come out of the camp, and I have fled from the battle to-day: and Heli
said, What is the even, my son?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And they young man answered and
said, The men of Israel fled from the face of the Philistines, and there
was a great slaughter among the people, and both thy sons are dead, and
the ark of God is taken.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And it came to pass, when he
mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from the seat backward near the
gate, and his back was broken, and he died, for he was an old man and
heavy: and he judged Israel twenty years.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And his daughter-in-law the wife
of Phinees was with child, about to bring forth; and she heard the
tidings, that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and
her husband were dead; and she wept and was delivered, for her pains came
upon her.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And in her time she was at the
point of death; and the women that stood by her, said to her, Fear not,
for thou hast born a son: but she answered not, and her heart did not
regard it.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And she called the child
Uaebarchaboth, because of the ark of God, and because of her
father-in-law, and because of her husband.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And they said, The glory of
Israel is departed, forasmuch as the ark of the Lord is taken.
5
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Philistines took the ark
of God, and brought it from Abenezer to Azotus.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Philistines took the ark
of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the people of Azotus rose
early, and entered into the house of Dagon; and looked, and behold, Dagon
had fallen on his face before the ark of the Lord: and they lifted up
Dagon, and set him in his place. And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon
the Azotians, and he plagued them, and he smote them in their secret
parts, Azotus and her coasts.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it came to pass when they rose
early in the morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark
of the covenant of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of
his hands were cut off each before the threshold, and both the wrists of
his hands had fallen on the floor of the porch; only the stump of Dagon
was left.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Therefore the priests of Dagon,
and every one that enters into the house of Dagon, do not tread upon the
threshold of the house of Dagon in Azotus until this day, for they step
over.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon Azotus, and he brought evil upon them, and it burst out upon them
into the ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their country, and
there was a great and indiscriminate mortality in the city.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the men of Azotus saw that it
was so, and they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with
us, for his hand is heavy upon us and upon Dagon our god.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they send and gather the lords
of the Philistines to them, and say, What shall we do to the ark of the
God of Israel? and the Gittites say, Let the ark of God come over to us;
and the ark of the God of Israel came to Geth.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And it came to pass after it went
about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very
great confusion; and he smote the men of the city small and great, and
smote them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves
images of emerods.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they send away the ark of God
to Ascalon; and it came to pass when the ark of God went into Ascalon,
that the men of Ascalon cried out, saying, Why have ye brought back the
ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they send and gather the
lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of
Israel, and let it lodge in its place; and let it not slay us and our
people. (12) For there was a very
great confusion in all the city, when the ark of the God of Israel
entered there;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
and those, who lived and died not were smitten with emerods; and the cry
of the city went up to heaven.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the ark was seven months in
the country of the Philistines, and their land brought forth swarms of
mice.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Philistines call their
priests, and their prophets, and their enchanters, saying, What shall we
do to the ark of the Lord? teach us wherewith we shall send it away to
its place.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And they said, If ye send away the
ark of the covenant of the Lord God of Israel, do not on any account send
it away empty, but by all means render to it an offering for the plague;
and then shall ye be healed, and an atonement shall be made for you:
should not his hand be thus stayed from off you?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they say, What is the offering
for the plague which we shall return to it? and they said, (5) According to the number of the lords of the
Philistines, five golden emerods, for the plague was on you, and on your
rulers, and on the people;
(ⲉ̅)
and golden mice, the likeness of the mice that destroy your land: and ye
shall give glory to the Lord, that he may lighten his hand from off you,
and from off your gods, and from off your land.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And why do ye harden your hearts,
as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? was it not so when he mocked
them, that they let the people go, and they departed?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And now take wood and make a new
wagon, and take two cows, that have calved for the first time, without
their calves; and do ye yoke the cows to the wagon, and lead away the
calves from behind them home.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And ye shall take the ark and put
it on the wagon; and ye shall restore to it the golden articles for the
trespass-offering in a coffer by the side of it: and ye shall let it go,
and sent it away, and ye shall depart.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And ye shall see, if it shall go
the way of its coasts along by Baethsamys, he has brought upon us this
great affliction; and if not, then shall we know that his hand has not
touched us, but this is a chance which has happened to us.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the Philistines did so; and
they took two cows that had calved for the first time, and yoked them to
the waggon, and shut up their calves at home.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they set the ark of the Lord,
and the coffer, and the golden mice, on the waggon.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the cows went straight on the
way to the way of Baethsamys, they went along one track; and laboured,
and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left, and the lords of
the Philistines went after it as far as the coasts of Baethsamys.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the men of Baethsamys were
reaping the wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes,
and saw the ark of the Lord, and rejoiced to meet it.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the waggon entered into the
field of Osee, which was in Baethsamys, and they set there by it a great
stone; and they split the wood of the waggon, and offered up the cows for
a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the Levites brought up the
ark of the Lord, and the coffer with it, and the golden articles upon it,
and placed them on the great stone, and the men of Baethsamys offered
whole-burnt-offerings and meat offerings on that day to the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the five lords of the
Philistines saw, and returned to Ascalon in that day.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And these are the golden emerods
which the lords of the Philistines gave as a trespass-offering to the
Lord; for Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for
Accaron one.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the golden mice according to
the number of all the cities of the Philistines, belonging to the five
lords, from the fenced city to the village of the Pherezite, and to the
great stone, on which they placed the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
that was in the field of Osee the Baethsamysite.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the sons of Jechonias were
not pleased with the men of Baethsamys, because they saw the ark of the
Lord; and the Lord smote among them seventy men, and fifty thousand men:
and the people mourned, because the Lord had inflicted on the people, a
very great plague.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the men of Baethsamys said,
Who shall be able to pass before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall
the ark of the Lord go up from us?
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And they send messengers to the
inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying, The Philistines have brought back
the ark of the Lord, go down and take it home to yourselves.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the men of Cariathiarim come,
and bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord: and they bring it into
the house of Aminadab in the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to
keep the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And it came to pass from the time
that the ark was in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied, and the time
was twenty years; and all the house of Israel looked after the Lord.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Samuel spoke to all the house
of Israel, saying, If ye do with all your heart return to the Lord, take
away the strange gods from the midst of you, and the groves, and prepare
your hearts to serve the Lord, and serve him only; and he shall deliver
you from the hand of the Philistines.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the children of Israel took
away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, and served the Lord only.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Samuel said, Gather all Israel
to Massephath, and I will pray for you to the Lord.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And they were gathered together to
Massephath, and they drew water, and poured it out upon the earth before
the Lord. And they fasted on that day, and said, We have sinned before
the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Massephath.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the Philistines heard that all
the children of Israel were gathered together to Massephath: and the
lords of the Philistines went up against Israel: and the children of
Israel heard, and they feared before the Philistines.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the children of Israel said to
Samuel, Cease not to cry to the Lord thy God for us, and he shall save us
out of the hand of the Philistines.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Samuel took a sucking lamb,
and offered it up as a whole-burnt-offering with all the people to the
Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Samuel was offering the
whole-burnt-offering; and the Philistines drew near to war against
Israel; and the Lord thundered with a mighty sound in that day upon the
Philistines, and they were confounded and overthrown before Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the men of Israel went forth
out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them to the
parts under Baethchor.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Samuel took a stone, and set
it up between Massephath and the old city; and he called the name of it
Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped
us.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) So the Lord humbled the
Philistines, and they did not anymore come into the border of Israel; and
the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the cities which the
Philistines took from the children of Israel were restored; and they
restored them to Israel from Ascalon to Azob: and they took the coast of
Israel out of the hand of the Philistines; and there was peace between
Israel and the Amorite.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Samuel judged Israel all the
days of his life.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And he went year by year, and
went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in
all these consecrated places.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And his return was to Armathaim,
because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there
an altar to the Lord.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass when Samuel
was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And these are the names of his
sons; Joel the first-born, and the name of the second Abia, judges in
Bersabee.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And his sons did not walk in his
way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted
judgments.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the men of Israel gather
themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,
(ⲉ̅)
(5) and they said to him, Behold, thou
art grown old, and thy sons walk not in thy way; and now set over us a
king to judge us, as also the other nations have.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the thing was evil in the eyes
of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed
to the Lord.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear
the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to thee; for they
have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me from reigning over
them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) According to all their doings
which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt
until this day, even as they have deserted me, and served other gods, so
they do also to thee.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And now hearken to their voice;
only thou shalt solemnly testify to them, and thou shalt describe to them
the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Samuel spoke every word of
the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And he said, This shall be the
manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and
put them in his chariots, and among his horsemen, and running before his
chariots,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) and his manner shall be to make
them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to
reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of
war, and the implements of his chariots.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he will take your daughters
to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he will take your fields, and
your vineyards, and your good oliveyards, and give them to his servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he will take the tithe of
your seeds and your vineyards, and give it to his eunuchs, and to his
servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And he will take your servants,
and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the
tenth of them for his works.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he will tithe your flocks;
and ye shall be his servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And ye shall cry out in that day
because of your king whom ye have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord
shall not hear you in those days, because ye have chosen to yourselves a
king.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) But the people would not hearken
to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) An we also will be like all the
nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and
fight our battles.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Samuel heard all the words of
the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the Lord said to Samuel,
Hearken to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the
men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And there was a man of the sons of
Benjamin, and his name was Kis, the son of Abiel, the son of Jared, the
son of Bachir, the son of Aphec, the son of a Benjamite, a man of might.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And this man had a son, and his
name was Saul, of great stature, a goodly man; and there was not among
the sons of Israel a goodlier than he, high above all the people from his
shoulders and upward.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the asses of Kis the father of
Saul were lost; and Kis said to Saul his son, Take with thee one of the
young men, and arise ye, and go seek the asses.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they went through mount
Ephraim, and they went through the land of Selcha, and found them not:
and they passed through the land of Segalim, and they were not there: and
they passed through the land of Jamin, and found them not.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And when they came to Siph, then
Saul said to his young man that was with him, Come and let us return,
lest my father leave the asses, and take care for us.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the young man said to him,
Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and the man is of high
repute; all that he shall speak will surely come to pass: now then let us
go, that he may tell us our way on which we have set out.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Saul said to his young man
that was with him, Lo, then, we will go; but what shall we bring the man
of God? for the loaves are spent out of our vessels, and we have nothing
more with us that belongs to us to bring to the man of God.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the young man answered Saul
again, and said, Behold, there is found in my hand a fourth part of a
shekel of silver; and thou shalt give it to the man of God, and he shall
tell us our way.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Now before time in Israel every
one in going to enquire of God said, Come and let us go to the seer; for
the people beforetime called the prophet, the seer.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Saul said to his servant,
Well said, come and let us go: and they went to the city where the man of
God was.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) As they went up the ascent to the
city, they find damsels come out to draw water, and they say to them, Is
the seer here?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the virgins answered them,
and they say to them, He is: behold, he is before you: now he is coming
to the city, because of the day, for to-day there is a sacrifice for the
people in Bama.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) As soon as ye shall enter into
the city, so shall ye find him in the city, before he goes up to Bama to
eat; for the people will not eat until he comes in, for he blesses the
sacrifice, and afterwards the guests eat; now then go up, for ye shall
find him because of the holiday.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And they go up to the city; and
as they were entering into the midst of the city, behold, Samuel came out
to meet them, to go up to Bama.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the Lord uncovered the ear of
Samuel one day before Saul came to him, saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) At this time to-morrow I will
send to thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him
to be ruler over my people Israel, and he shall save my people out of the
hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon the humiliation of my
people, for their cry is come unto me.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Samuel looked upon Saul, and
the Lord answered him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to thee, this one
shall rule over my people.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Saul drew near to Samuel into
the midst of the city, and said, Tell me now which is the house of the
seer?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Samuel answered Saul, and
said, I am he: go up before me to Bama, and eat with me to-day, and I
will send thee away in the morning, and I will tell thee all that is in
thine heart.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And concerning thine asses that
have been lost now these three days, care not for them, for they are
found. And to whom does the excellency of Israel belong? does it not to
thee and to thy father’s house?
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Saul answered and said, Am
not I the son of a Benjamite, the least tribe of the people of Israel?
and of the least family of the whole tribe of Benjamin? and why hast thou
spoken to me according to this word?
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Samuel took Saul and his
servant, and brought them to the inn, and set them there a place among
the chief of those that were called, about seventy men.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Samuel said to the cook, Give
me the portion which I gave thee, which I told thee to set by thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Now the cook had boiled the
shoulder, and he set it before Saul; and Samuel said to Saul, Behold that
which is left: set before thee, an eat; for it is set thee for a
testimony in preference to the others; take of it: and Saul ate with
Samuel on that day.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And he went down from Bama into
the city; and they prepared a lodging for Saul on the roof, and he lay
down.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) An it came to pass when the
morning dawned, that Samuel called Saul on the roof, saying, Rise up, and
I will dismiss thee. And Saul arose, and he and Samuel went out.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) As they went down to a part of
the city, Samuel said to Saul, Speak to the young man, and let him pass
on before us; and do thou stand as to-day, and hearken to the word of
God.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Samuel took a vial of oil, and
poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said to him, Has not the Lord
anointed thee for a ruler over his people, over Israel? and thou shalt
rule among the people of the Lord, and thou shalt save them out of the
hand of their enemies;
(ⲃ̅)
and this shall be the sign to thee that the Lord has anointed thee for a
ruler over his inheritance. (2) As
soon as thou shalt have departed this day from me, thou shalt find two
men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting
greatly; and they shall say to thee, The asses are found which ye went to
seek; and, behold, thy father has given up the matter of the asses, and
he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And thou shalt depart thence, and
shalt go beyond that as far as the oak of Thabor, and thou shalt find
there three men going up to God to Baethel, one bearing three kids, and
another bearing three vessels of bread, and another bearing a bottle of
wine.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they shall ask thee how thou
doest, and shall give thee two presents of bread, and thou shall receive
them of their hand.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And afterward thou shalt go to the
hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there is Nasib
the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when ye shall have entered into
the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the
Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp,
and they shall prophesy.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the Spirit of the Lord shall
come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned
into another man.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And it shall come to pass when
these signs shall come upon thee, —then do thou whatsoever thy hand shall
find, because God is with thee.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And thou shalt go down in front of
Galgal, and behold, I come down to thee to offer a whole-burnt-offering
and peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou wait until I shall come to
thee, and I will make known to thee what thou shalt do.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And it came to pass when he turned
his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these
signs came to pass in that day.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And he comes thence to the hill,
and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came
upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And all that had known him before
came, and saw, and behold, he was in the midst of the prophets: and the
people said every one to his neighbour, What is this that has happened to
the son of Kis? is Saul also among the prophets?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And one of them answered and
said, And who is his father? and therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul
also among the prophets?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he ceased prophesying, and
comes to the hill.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And his kinsman said to him and
to his servant, Whither went ye? and they said, To seek the asses; and we
saw that they were lost, and we went in to Samuel.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And his kinsman said to Saul,
Tell me, I pray thee, What did Samuel say to thee?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Saul said to his kinsman, he
verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom
he told him not.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Samuel summoned all the
people before the Lord to Massephath.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And he said to the children of
Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the
children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of
Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted you.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And ye have this day rejected
God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions;
and ye said, Nay, but thou shalt set a king over us: and now stand before
the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Samuel brought nigh all the
tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And he brings near the tribe of
Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they
bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is
taken; and he sought him, but he was not found.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Samuel asked yet again of the
Lord, Will the man come hither? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid
among the stuff.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And he ran and took him thence,
and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the
people by his shoulders and upwards.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Samuel said to all the
people, Have ye seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is
none like to him among you all? And all the people took notice, and said,
Let the king live!
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Samuel told the people the
manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord:
and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Saul departed to his house to
Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) But evil men said, Who is this
man that shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass about a month
after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis
Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a
covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Naas the Ammanite said to them, On
these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all
your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the men of Jabis say to him,
Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of
Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the messengers came to Gabaa
to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all
the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And, behold, Saul came after the
early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people week?
and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the Spirit of the Lord came
upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled
against them.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And he took two cows, and cut them
in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of
messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so
shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the
people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he reviews them at Bezec in
Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda
seventy thousand.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he said to the messengers that
came, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow ye shall have
deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and
told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the men of Jabis said to Naas
the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and ye shall do to us
what seems good in your sight.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And it came to pass on the
morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go
into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they smote the
children of Ammon until the day was hot; at it came to pass that those
who were left were scattered, and there were not left among them two
together.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the people said to Samuel,
Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we
will put them to death.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Saul said, No man shall die
this day, for to-day the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Samuel spoke to the people,
saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And all the people went to
Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in
Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before
the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Samuel said to all Israel,
Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all things that ye have said to
me, and I have set a king over you.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And now, behold, the king goes
before you; and I am grown old and shall rest; and, behold, my sons are
among you; and, behold, I have gone about before you from my youth to
this day.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Behold, here am I, answer against
me before the Lord and before his anointed: whose calf have I taken? or
whose ass have I taken? or whom of you have I oppressed? or from whose
hand have I taken a bribe, even to a sandal? bear witness against me, and
I will make restitution to you.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And they said to Samuel, Thou hast
not injured us, and thou hast not oppressed us; and thou hast not
afflicted us, and thou hast not taken anything from any one’s hand.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Samuel said to the people, The
Lord is witness among you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye
have not found anything in my hand: and they said, He is witness.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Samuel spoke to the people,
saying, The Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron is witness, who brought
our fathers up out of Egypt.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And now stand still, and I will
judge you before the Lord; and I will relate to you all the righteousness
of the Lord, the things which he has wrought among you and your fathers.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) When Jacob and his sons went into
Egypt, and Egypt humbled them, then our fathers cried to the Lord, and
the Lord sent Moses and Aaron; and they brought our fathers out of Egypt,
and he made them to dwell in this place.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And they forgot the Lord their
God, and he sold them into the hands of Sisara captain of the host of
Jabis king of Asor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the
hands of the king of Moab; and he fought with them.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they cried to the Lord, and
said, We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord, and have served
Baalim and the groves: and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies,
and we will serve thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And he sent Jerobaal, and Barac,
and Jephthae, and Samuel, and rescued us out of the hand of our enemies
round about, and ye dwelt in security.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And ye saw that Naas king of the
children of Ammon came against you, and ye said, Nay, none but a king
shall reign over us; whereas the Lord our God is our king.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And now behold the king whom ye
have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) If ye should fear the Lord, and
serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the
Lord, and ye and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord,
well.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) But if ye should not hearken to
the voice of the Lord, and ye should resist the mouth of the Lord, then
shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And now stand still, and see this
great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I
will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; and know ye
and see, that your wickedness is great which ye have wrought before the
Lord, having asked for yourselves a king.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Samuel called upon the Lord,
and the Lord sent thunders and rain in that day; and all the people
feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And all the people said to
Samuel, Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, and let us not die;
for we have added to all our sins this iniquity, in asking for us a king.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Samuel said to the people,
Fear not: ye have indeed wrought all this iniquity; only turn not from
following the Lord, and serve the Lord with all your heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And turn not aside after the gods
that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver you, because
they are nothing.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) For the Lord will not cast off
his people for his great name’s sake, because the Lord graciously took
you to himself for a people.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And far be it from me to sin
against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will serve the Lord,
and shew you the good and the right way.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Only fear the Lord, and serve him
in truth and with all your heart, for ye see what great things he has
wrought with you.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) But if ye continue to do evil,
then shall ye and your king be consumed.
13
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Saul chooses for himself three
thousand men of the men of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand
who were in Machmas, and in mount Baethel, and a thousand were with
Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every
man to his tent.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Jonathan smote Nasib the
Philistine that dwelt in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and
Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have
despised us.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And all Israel heard say, Saul has
smitten Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the
Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Galgala.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the Philistines gather
together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty
thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by
the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Machmas,
opposite Baethoron southward.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the men of Israel saw that
they were in a strait so that they could not draw nigh, and the people
hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and
pits.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And they that went over went over
Jordan to the land of Gad and Galaad: and Saul was yet in Galgala, and
all the people followed after him in amazement.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he continued seven days for
the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to
Galgala, and his people were dispersed from him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Saul said, Bring hither
victims, that I may offer whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and
he offered the whole-burnt-offering.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And it came to pass when he had
finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul
went out to meet him, and to bless him.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Samuel said, What hast thou
done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me,
and thou was not present as thou purposedst according to the set time of
the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Then I said, Now will the
Philistines come down to me to Galgala, and I have not sought the face of
the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole-burnt-offering.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Samuel said to Saul, Thou
hast done foolishly; for thou hast not kept my command, which the Lord
commanded thee, as now the Lord would have confirmed thy kingdom over
Israel for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) But now thy kingdom shall not
stand to thee, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own
heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people,
because thou hast not kept all that the Lord commanded thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Samuel arose, and departed
from Galgala, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet him
after the men of war, when they had come out of Galgala to Gabaa of
Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about
six hundred men.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Saul and Jonathan his son,
and the people that were found with them, halted in Gabaa, of Benjamin;
and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Machmas.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And men came forth to destroy out
of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by
the way of Gophera toward the land of Sogal,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and another company turning the
way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that
turns aside to Gai of Sabim.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And there was not found a smith
in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews
make themselves sword or spear.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And all Israel went down to the
Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool,
and every one his axe and his sickle.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And it was near the time of
vintage: and their tools were valued at three shekels for a plough-share,
and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And it came to pass in the days
of the war of Machmas, that there was not a sword or spear found in the
hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul
and Jonathan his son was there found.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And there went out some from the
camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when a certain day arrived,
Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour,
Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the
other side yonder; but he told not his father.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Saul sat on the top of the
hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with
him about six hundred men.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Achia son of Achitob, the
brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, was the priest
of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan
was gone.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And in the midst of the passage
whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the
Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock
on the other side: the name of the one was Bases, and the name of the
other Senna.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The one way was northward to one
coming to Machmas, and the other way was southward to one coming to
Gabae.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Jonathan said to the young man
that bore his armour, Come, let us go over to Messab of these
uncircumcised, if peradventure the Lord may do something for us; for the
Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And his armour-bearer said to him,
Do all that thine heart inclines toward: behold, I am with thee, my heart
is as thy heart.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Jonathan said, Behold, we will
go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) If they should say thus to us,
Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still
by ourselves, and will not go up against them.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But if they should say thus to
us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them
into our hands; this shall be a sign to us.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they both went in to Messab
of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come
forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the men of Messab answered
Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew
you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me,
for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Jonathan went up on his hands
and feet, and his armour-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of
Jonathan, and he smote them, and his armour-bearer did smite them after
him.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the first slaughter which
Jonathan and his armour-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and
slings, and pebbles of the field.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And there was dismay in the camp,
and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were
amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there
was dismay from the lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the watchmen of Saul beheld
in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on
every side.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Saul said to the people with
him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they
numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not
found.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Saul said to Achia, Bring the
ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And it came to pass while Saul
was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines
continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy
hands.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Saul went up and all the
people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold,
every man’s sword was against his neighbour, a very great confusion.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the servants who had been
before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned
themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and
Jonathan.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And all the Israelites who were
hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they
also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in
that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul
were about ten thousand men.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the battle extended itself to
every city in the mount Ephraim.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Saul committed a great
trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people,
saying, Cursed is the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I
will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread,
though all the land was dining.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Jaal was a wood abounding in
swarms of bees on the face of the ground.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the people went into the
place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold,
there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the
oath of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Jonathan had not heard when
his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff
that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his
hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And one of the people answered
and said, Thy father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed is the
man who shall eat bread to-day. And the people were very faint,
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) and Jonathan knew it, and said,
My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight now
that I have tasted a little of this honey.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) Surely if the people had this day
eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the
slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And on that day he smote some of
the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And the people turned to the
spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and slew them
on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And it was reported to Saul,
saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood:
and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Saul said, Disperse
yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his
calf, and every one his sheep: and let them slay it on this stone and sin
not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought
each one that which was in his hand, and they slew them there.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And Saul built an altar there to
the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And Saul said, Let us go down
after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder among them till the
day break, and let us not leave a man among them. And they said, Do all
that is good in thy sight: and the priest said, let us draw nigh hither
to God.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And Saul enquired of God, If I go
down after the Philistines, wilt thou deliver them into the hands of
Israel? And he answered him not in that day.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And Saul said, Bring hither all
the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been
committed this day.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) For as the Lord lives who has
saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall
surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And he said to all the men of
Israel, Ye shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be
under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in
thy sight.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And Saul said, O Lord God of
Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? is the iniquity
in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear
manifestations; and if the lot should declare this, give, I pray thee, to
thy people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are
taken, and the people escaped.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And Saul said, Cast lots between
me and my son Jonathan: whomsoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by
lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not to be
done: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast lots between
him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell
me what thou hast done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed
taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and,
lo! I am to die.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) And Saul said to him, God do so
to me, and more also, thou shalt surely die to-day.
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(45) And the people said to Saul,
Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death
this day? As the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of
the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully
this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died
not.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅)
(46) And Saul went up from following
the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.
(ⲙ̅ⲍ̅)
(47) And Saul received the kingdom, by
lot he inherits the office of ruling over Israel: and he fought against
all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of
Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and
against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: whithersoever he
turned, he was victorious.
(ⲙ̅ⲏ̅)
(48) And he wrought valiantly, and
smote Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on
him.
(ⲙ̅ⲑ̅)
(49) And the sons of Saul were
Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and these were the names of his two
daughters, the name of the first-born Merob, and the name of the second
Melchol.
(ⲛ̅)
(50) And the name of his wife was
Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the
host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
(ⲛ̅ⲁ̅)
(51) And Kis was the father of Saul,
and Ner, the father of Abenezer, was son of Jamin, son of Abiel.
(ⲛ̅ⲃ̅)
(52) And the war was vehement against
the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man,
and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord
sent me to anoint thee king over Israel: and now hear the voice of the
Lord.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Thus said the Lord of hosts, Now
will I take vengeance for what Amalec did to Israel, when he met him in
the way as he came up out of Egypt.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And now go, and thou shalt smite
Amalec and Hierim and all that belongs to him, and thou shalt not save
anything of him alive, but thou shalt utterly destroy him: and thou shalt
devote him and all his to destruction, and thou shalt spare nothing
belonging to him; and thou shalt slay both man and woman, and infant and
suckling, and calf and sheep, and camel and ass.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Saul summoned the people, and
he numbered them in Galgala, four hundred thousand regular troops, and
Juda thirty thousand regular troops.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Saul came to the cities of
Amalec, and laid wait in the valley.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Saul said to the Kinite, Go,
and depart out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I put thee with them;
for thou dealedst mercifully with the children of Israel when they went
up out of Egypt. So the Kinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Saul smote Amalec from Evilat
to Sur fronting Egypt.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he took Agag the king of
Amalec alive, and he slew all the people and Hierim with the edge of the
sword.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Saul and all the people saved
Agag alive, and the best of the flocks, and of the herds, and of the
fruits, of the vineyards, and of all the good things; and they would not
destroy them: but every worthless and refuse thing they destroyed.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the word of the Lord came to
Samuel, saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) I have repented that I have made
Saul to be king: for he has turned back from following me, and has not
kept my word. And Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord all night.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Samuel rose early and went to
meet Israel in the morning, and it was told Saul, saying, Samuel has come
to Carmel, and he has raised up help for himself: and he turned his
chariot, and came down to Galgala
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
to Saul; and, behold, he was offering up a whole-burnt-offering to the
Lord, the chief of the spoils which he brought out of Amalec.
(13) And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul
said to him, Blessed art thou of the Lord: I have performed all that the
Lord said.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Samuel said, What then is the
bleating of this flock in my ears, and the sound of the oxen which I
hear?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Saul said, I have brought
them out of Amalec, that which the people preserved, even the best of the
sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord thy
God, and the rest have I utterly destroyed.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Samuel said to Saul, Stay,
and I will tell thee what the Lord has said to me this night: and he said
to him, Say on.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Samuel said to Saul, Art thou
not little in his eyes, though a leader of one of the tribes of Israel?
and yet the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the Lord sent thee on a
journey, and said to thee, Go, and utterly destroy: thou shalt slay the
sinners against me, even the Amalekites; and thou shalt war against them
until thou have consumed them.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And why didst not thou hearken to
the voice of the Lord, but didst haste to fasten upon the spoils, and
didst that which was evil in the sight of the Lord?
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Saul said to Samuel, Because
I listened to the voice of the people: yet I went the way by which the
Lord sent me, and I brought Agag the king of Amalec, and I destroyed
Amalec.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) But the people took of the spoils
the best flocks and herds out of that which was destroyed, to sacrifice
before the Lord our God in Galgal.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Samuel said, Does the Lord
take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in hearing the
words of the Lord? behold, obedience is better than a good sacrifice, and
hearkening than the fat of rams.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For sin is as divination; idols
bring on pain and grief. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord,
the Lord also shall reject thee from being king over Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Saul said to Samuel, I have
sinned, in that I have transgressed the word of the Lord and thy
direction; for I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And now remove, I pray thee, my
sin, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Samuel said to Saul, I will
not turn back with thee, for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and
the Lord will reject thee from being king over Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Samuel turned his face to
depart, and Saul caught hold of the skirt of his garment, and tore it.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Samuel said to him, The Lord
has rent thy kingdom from Israel out of thy hand this day, and will give
it to thy neighbour who is better than thou.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Israel shall be divided to
two: and God will not turn nor repent, for he is not as a man to repent.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Saul said, I have sinned; yet
honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of Israel, and before my
people; and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) So Samuel turned back after Saul,
and he worshipped the Lord.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Samuel said, Bring me Agag
the king of Amalec: and Agag came to him trembling; and Agag said Is
death thus bitter?
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And Samuel said to Agag, As thy
sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall thy mother be made
childless among women: and Samuel slew Agag before the Lord in Galgal.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Samuel departed to Armathaim,
and Saul went up to his house at Gabaa.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And Samuel did not see Saul again
till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned after Saul, and the Lord
repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Lord.

at meeting him, and said, Dost thou come peaceably, thou Seer?

(13) And Samuel took the horn of oil,
and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord
came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel arose, and departed to
Armathaim.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the Spirit of the Lord
departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Saul’s servants said to him,
Behold now, and evil spirit from the Lord torments thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Let now thy servants speak before
thee, and let them seek for our lord a man skilled to play on the harp;
and it shall come to pass when an evil spirit comes upon thee and he
shall play on his harp, that thou shalt be well, and he shall refresh
thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Saul said to his servants,
Look now out for me a skillful player, and bring him to me.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And one of his servants answered
and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jessae the Bethleemite, and he
understands playing on the harp, and the man is prudent, and a warrior,
and wise in speech, and the man is handsome, and the Lord is with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Saul sent messengers to
Jessae, saying, Send to me thy son David who is with thy flock.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Jessae took a homer of bread,
and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sent them by the hand
of his son David to Saul.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And David went in to Saul, and
stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his
armour-bearer.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Saul sent to Jessae, saying,
Let David, I pray thee, stand before me, for he has found grace in my
eyes.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And it came to pass when the evil
spirit was upon Saul, that David took his harp, and played with his hand:
and Saul was refreshed, and it was well with him, and the evil spirit
departed from him.

(1) And the Philistines gather their
armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp
between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Saul and the men of Israel
gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in
array against the Philistines.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the Philistines stand on the
mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other
side, and the valley was between them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And there went forth a mighty man
out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his
height was four cubits and a span.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he had a helmet upon his head,
and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his
breastplate was five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And greaves of grass were upon his
legs, and a brazen target was between his shoulders.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the staff of his spear was
like a weaver’s beam, and the spear’s head was formed of six hundred
shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he stood and cried to the army
of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come forth to set yourselves in
battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and ye He brews of Saul?
Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And if he shall be able to fight
against me, and shall smite me, then will we be your servants: but if I
should prevail and smite him, ye shall be our servants, and serve us.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the Philistine said, Behold,
I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we
will both of us fight in single combat.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Saul and all Israel heard
these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly
terrified.

For who is this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living

put them in the shepherd’s scrip which he had for his store, and his

(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Saul was alarmed on account
of David.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he removed him from him, and
made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in
before the people.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And David was prudent in all his
ways, and the Lord was with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Saul saw that he was very
wise, and he was afraid of him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And all Israel and Juda loved
David, because he came in and went out before the people.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Melchol the daughter of Saul
loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his
eyes.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Saul said, I will give her to
him, and she shall be a stumbling-block to him. Now the hand of the
Philistines was against Saul.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Saul charged his servants,
saying, Speak ye privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in
thee, and all his servants love thee, and do thou becomes the king’s
son-in-law.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the servants of Saul spoke
these words in the ears of David; and David said, Is it a light thing in
your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I am an humble man,
an not honourable?
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the servants of Saul reported
to him according to these words, which David spoke.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Saul said, Thus shall ye
speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the
Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to
cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the servants of Saul report
these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law
to the king.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And David arose, and went, he and
his men, and smote among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought
their foreskins, and he becomes the king’s son-in-law, and Saul gives him
Melchol his daughter to wife.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Saul saw that the Lord was
with David, and that all Israel loved him.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And he was yet more afraid of
David.
19
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Saul spoke to Jonathan his
son, and to all his servants, to slay David.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Jonathan, Saul’s son, loved
David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill thee:
take heed to thyself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide thyself, and
dwell in secret.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And I will go forth, and stand
near my father in the field where thou shalt be, and I will speak
concerning thee to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and
I will tell thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Jonathan spoke favorably
concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king
sin against thy servant David, for he has not sinned against thee, and
his deeds are very good.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he put his life in his hand,
and smote the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and
all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then dost thou sin against innocent
blood, to slay David without a cause?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Saul hearkened to the voice of
Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, As the Lord lives, he shall not die.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Jonathan called David, and
told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he
was before him as in former times.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And there was again war against
Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and
smote them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And an evil spirit from God was
upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear was in his hand,
and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Saul sought to smite David
with the spear; and David withdrew suddenly from the presence of Saul;
and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And it came to pass in that
night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in
order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David’s wife told him,
saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be
slain.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So Melchol lets David down by the
window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Melchol took images, and laid
them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered
them with clothes.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Saul sent messengers to take
David; and they say that he is sick.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he sends to David, saying,
Bring him to me on the bed, that I may slay him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the messengers come, and,
behold, the images were on the bed, and the goat’s liver at his head.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Saul said to Melchol, Why
hast thou thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has
escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will
slay thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) So David fled, and escaped, and
comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to
him: and Samuel and David went, and dwelt in Navath in Rama.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And it was told Saul, saying,
Behold, David is in Navath in Rama.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Saul sent messengers to take
David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood as
appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of
Saul, and they prophesy.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And it was told Saul, and he sent
other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third
set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Saul was very angry, and went
himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the
threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where are Samuel
and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And he went thence to Navath in
Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on
prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And he took off his clothes, and
prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that
night: therefore they said, Is Saul also among the prophets?
20
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And David fled from Navath in
Rama, and comes into the presence of Jonathan; and he said, What have I
done, and what is my fault, and wherein have I sinned before thy father,
that he seeks my life?
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Jonathan said to him, Far be
it from thee: thou shalt not die: behold, my father will not do any thing
great or small without discovering it to me; and why should my father
hide this matter from me? This thing is not so.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David answered Jonathan, and
said, Thy father knows surely that I have found grace in thy sight, and
he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but as
the Lord lives and thy soul lives, as I said, the space is filled up
between me and death.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Jonathan said to David, What
does thy soul desire, and what shall I do for thee.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David said to Jonathan,
Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, and I shall not on any account sit
down to eat, but thou shalt let me go, and I will hide in the plain till
the evening.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And if thy father do in anywise
enquire for me, then shalt thou say, David earnestly asked leave of me to
run to Bethleem his city, for there is there, a yearly sacrifice for all
the family.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) If he shall say thus, Well, —all
is safe for thy servant: but if he shall answer harshly to thee, know
that evil is determined by him.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And thou shalt deal mercifully
with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of
the Lord with thyself: and if there is iniquity in thy servant, slay me
thyself; but why dost thou thus bring me to thy father?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Jonathan said, That be far
from thee: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to
come upon thee, although it should not be against thy cities, I will tell
thee.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And David said to Jonathan, Who
can tell me if thy father should answer roughly?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Jonathan said to David, Go,
and abide in the field. And they went out both into the field.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Jonathan said to David, the
Lord God of Israel knows that I will sound my father as I have an
opportunity, three several times, and, behold, if good should be
determined concerning David, and I do not send to thee to the field,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) God do so to Jonathan and more
also: as I shall also report the evil to thee, and make it known to thee,
and I will let thee go; and thou shalt depart in peace, and the Lord
shall be with thee, as he was with my father.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And if indeed I continue to live,
then shalt thou deal mercifully with me; and if I indeed die,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) thou shalt not withdraw thy mercy
from my house for ever: and if thou doest not, when the Lord cuts off the
enemies of David each from the face of the earth,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
should it happen that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of
David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Jonathan swore yet again to
David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Jonathan said, To-morrow is
the new moon, and thou wilt be enquired for, because thy seat will be
observed as vacant.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And thou shalt stay three days,
and watch an opportunity, and shalt come to thy place where thou mayest
hide thyself in the day of thy business, and thou shalt wait by that
ergab.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And I will shoot three arrows,
aiming them at a mark.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And behold, I will send a lad,
saying, Go find me the arrow. (22) If
I should expressly say to the lad, The arrow is here, and on this side of
thee, take it; then come, for it is well with thee, and there is no
reason for fear, as the Lord lives:
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
but if I should say thus to the young man, The arrow is on that side of
thee, and beyond; go, for the Lord hath sent thee away.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And as for the word which thou
and I have spoken, behold, the Lord is witness between me and thee for
ever.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) So David hides himself in the
field, and the new month arrives, and the king comes to the table to eat.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And he sat upon his seat as in
former times, even on his seat by the wall, and he went before Jonathan;
and Abenner sat on one side of Saul, and the place of David was empty.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Saul said nothing on that
day, for he said, It seems to have fallen out that he is not clean,
because he has not purified himself.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And it came to pass on the
morrow, on the second day of the month, that the place of David was
empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jessae
attended both yesterday and today at the table?
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Jonathan answered Saul, and
said to him, David asked leave of me to go as far as Bethleem his city;
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) and he said, Let me go, I pray
thee, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brethren have
sent for me; and now, if I have found grace in thine eyes, I will even go
over and see my brethren: therefore he is not present at the table of the
king.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Saul was exceedingly angry
with Jonathan, and said to him, Thou son of traitorous damsels! for do I
not know that thou art an accomplice with the son of Jessae to thy same,
and to the shame of thy mother’s nakedness?
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) For so long as the son of Jessae
lives upon the earth, thy kingdom shall not be established: now then send
and take the young man, for he shall surely die.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Jonathan answered Saul, Why
is he to die? What has he done?
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And Saul lifted up his spear
against Jonathan to slay him: so Jonathan knew that this evil was
determined on by his father to slay David.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Jonathan sprang up from the
table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day of the
month, for he grieved bitterly for David, because his father determined
on mischief against him.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And morning came, and Jonathan
went out to the field, as he appointed to do for a signal to David, and a
little boy was with him.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And he said to the boy, Run, find
me the arrows which I shoot: and the boy ran, and Jonathan shot an arrow,
and sent it beyond him.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And the boy came to the place
where the arrow was which Jonathan shot; and Jonathan cried out after the
lad, and said, The arrow is on that side of thee and beyond thee.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And Jonathan cried out after his
boy, saying, Make all speed, and stay not. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up
the arrows, and brought the arrows to his master.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And the boy knew nothing, only
Jonathan and David knew.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And Jonathan gave his weapons to
his boy, and said to his boy, Go, enter into the city.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And when the lad went in, then
David arose from the argab, and fell upon his face, and did obeisance to
him three times, and they kissed each other, and wept for each other, for
a great while.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And Jonathan said to David, Go in
peace, and as we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, The
Lord shall be witness between me and thee, and between my seed and thy
seed for ever—even so let it be.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
And David arose and departed,
21
(ⲁ̅)
and Jonathan went into the city. (1)
And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was
amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and nobody
with thee?
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And David said to the priest, The
king gave me a command to-day, and said to me, Let no one know the matter
on which I send thee, an concerning which I have charged thee: and I have
charged my servants to be in the place that is called, The faithfulness
of God, phellani maemoni.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And now if there are under thy
hand five loaves, give into my hand what is ready.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the priest answered David, and
said, There are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but holy
loaves: if the young men have been kept at least from women, then they
shall eat them.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David answered the priest, and
said to him, Yea, we have been kept from women for three days: when I
came forth for the journey all the young men were purified; but this
expedition is unclean, wherefore it shall be sanctified this day because
of my weapons.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) So Abimelech the priest gave him
the shewbread; for there were no loaves there, but only the presence
loaves which had been removed from the presence of the Lord, in order
that hot bread should be set on, on the day on which he took them.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And there was there on that day
one of Saul’s servants detained before the Lord, and his name was Doec
the Syrian, tending the mules of Saul.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And David said to Abimelech, See
if there is here under thy hand spear or sword, for I have not brought in
my hand my sword or my weapons, for the word of the king was urgent.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the priest said, Behold the
sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou smotest in the valley of Ela;
and it is wrapt in a cloth: if thou wilt take it, take it for thyself,
for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is
none like it; give it me.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And he gave it him; and David
arose, and fled in that day from he presence of Saul: and David came to
Anchus king of Geth.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the servants of Anchus said
to him, Is not this David the king of the land? Did not the dancing women
begin the son to him, saying, Saul has smitten his thousand, and David
his ten thousands?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And David laid up the words in
his heart, and was greatly afraid of Anchus king of Geth.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he changed his appearance
before him, and feigned himself a false character in that day; and
drummed upon the doors of the city, and used extravagant gestures with
his hands, and fell against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran
down upon his beard.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Anchus said to his servants,
Lo! ye see the man is mad: why have ye brought him in to me?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Am I in want of madmen, that ye
have brought him in to me to play the madman? He shall not come into the
house.
22
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And David departed thence, and
escaped; and he comes to the cave of Odollam, and his brethren hear, and
the house of his father, and they go down to him there.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And there gathered to him every
one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one
that was troubled in mind; and he was a leader over them, and there were
with him about four hundred men.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David departed thence to
Massephath of Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let, I pray thee, my
father and my mother be with thee, until I know what God will do to me.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And he persuaded the King of Moab,
and they dwell with him continually, while David was in the hold.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Gad the prophet said to David,
Dwell not in the hold: go, and thou shalt enter the land of Juda. So
David went, and came and dwelt in the city of Saric.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Saul heard that David was
discovered, and his men with him: now Saul dwelt in the hill below the
field that is in Rama, and his spear was in his hand, and all his
servants stood near him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Saul said to his servants that
stood by him, Hear now, ye sons of Benjamin, will the son of Jessae
indeed give all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make you all
captains of hundreds and captains of thousands?
(ⲏ̅)
(8) That ye are conspiring against me,
and there is no one that informs me, whereas my son has made a covenant
with the son of Jessae, and there is no one of you that is sorry for me,
or informs me, that my son has stirred up my servant against me for an
enemy, as it is this day?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Doec the Syrian who was over
the mules of Saul answered and said, I saw the son of Jessae as he came
to Nomba to Abimelech son of Achitob the priest.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the priest enquired of God
for him, and gave him provision, and gave him the sword of Goliath the
Philistine.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the king sent to call
Abimelech son of Achitob and all his father’s sons, the priests that were
in Nomba; and they all came to the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Saul said, Hear now, thou son
of Achitob. And he said, Lo! I am here, speak, my lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Saul said to him, Why have
thou and the son of Jessae conspired against me, that thou shouldest give
him bread and a sword, and shouldest enquire of God for him, to raise him
up against me as an enemy, as he is this day?
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he answered the king, and
said, And who is there among all thy servants faithful as David, and he
is a son-in-law of the king, and he is executor of all thy commands, and
is honourable in thy house?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Have I begun to-day to enquire of
God for him? By no means: let not the king bring a charge against his
servant, and against thee whole of my father’s house; for thy servant
knew not in all these matters anything great or small.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And king Saul said, Thou shalt
surely die, Abimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the king said to the footmen
that attended on him, Draw nigh and slay the priests of the Lord, because
their hand is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and they
did not inform me. But the servants of the king would not lift their
hands to fall upon the priest of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the king said to Doec, Turn
thou, and fall upon the priests: and Doec the Syrian turned, and slew the
priests of the Lord in that day, three hundred and five men, all wearing
an ephod.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And he smote Nomba the city of
the priest with the edge of the sword, both man, and woman, infant and
suckling, and calf, and ox, and sheep.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And one son of Abimelech son of
Achitob escapes, and his name was Abiathar, and he fled after David.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Abiathar told David that Saul
had slain all the priests of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And David said to Abiathar, I
knew it in that day, that Doec the Syrian would surely tell Saul: I am
guilty of the death of the house of thy father.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Dwell with me; fear not, for
wherever I shall seek a place of safety for my life, I will also seek a
place for thy life, for thou art safely guarded while with me.
23
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it was told David, saying,
behold, the Philistines war in Keila, and they rob, they trample on the
threshing-floors.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And David enquired of the Lord,
saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said, Go,
and thou shalt smite these Philistines, and shalt save Keila.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the men of David said to him,
Behold, we are afraid here in Judea; and how shall it be if we go to
Keila? Shall we go after the spoils of the Philistines?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And David enquired yet again of
the Lord; and the Lord answered him, and said to him, Arise and go down
to Keila, for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hands.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) So David and his men with him went
to Keila, and fought with the Philistines; and they fled from before him,
and he carried off their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter,
and David rescued the inhabitants of Keila.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And it came to pass when Abiathar
the son of Achimelech fled to David, that he went down with David to
Keila, having and ephod in his hand.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And it was told Saul that David
was come to Keila: and Saul said, God has sold him into my hands, for he
is shut up, having entered into a city that has gates and bars.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Saul charged all the people to
go down to war to Keila, to besiege David and his men.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And David knew that Saul spoke
openly of mischief against him: and David said to Abiathar the priest,
Bring the ephod of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And David said, Lord God of
Israel, thy servant has indeed heard, that Saul seeks to come against
Keila to destroy the city on my account.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Will the place be shut up? And
now will Saul come down, as thy servant has heard? Lord God of Israel,
tell thy servant. And the Lord said, It will be shut up.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David arose, and the men with
him, in number about four hundred, and they went forth from Keila, and
went whithersoever they could go: and it was told Saul that David had
escaped from Keila, and he forbore to come.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he dwelt in Maserem in the
wilderness, in the narrow passes; and dwelt in the wilderness in mount
Ziph, in the dry country. And Saul sought him continually, but the Lord
delivered him not into his hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And David perceived that Saul
went forth to seek David; and David was in the dry mountain in the New
Ziph.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Jonathan son of Saul rose,
and went to David to Caene, and strengthened his hands in the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he said to him, Fear not, for
the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king
over Israel, and I shall be second to thee; and Saul my father knows it.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) So they both made a covenant
before the Lord; and David dwelt in Caene, and Jonathan went to his home.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the Ziphites came up out of
the dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, is not David hidden
with us in Messara, in the narrows in Caene in the hill of Echela, which
is on the right of Jessaemon?
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And now according to all the
king’s desire to come down, let him come down to us; they have shut him
up into the hands of the king.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Saul said to them, Blessed be
ye of the Lord, for ye have been grieved on my account.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Go, I pray you, and make
preparations yet, and notice his place where his foot shall be, quickly,
in that place which ye spoke of, lest by any means he should deal
craftily.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Take notice, then, and learn, and
I will go with you; and it shall come to pass that if he is in the land,
I will search him out among all the thousands of Juda.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the Ziphites arose, and went
before Saul: and David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon,
westward, to the right of Jessaemon.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Saul and his men went to seek
him: and they brought word to David, and he went down to the rock that
was in the wilderness of Maon: and Saul heard, and followed after David
to the wilderness of Maon.

(26) And Saul and his men go on one
side of the mountain, and David and his men are on the other side of the
mountain: and David was hiding himself to escape from Saul: and Saul and
his men encamped against David and his men, in order to take them.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲓ̀ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲉⲙⲛ̀ϩⲱⲃ ϩⲁ

(27) And there came a messenger to
Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come hither, for the Philistines have
invaded the land.

(28) So Saul returned from following
after David, and went to meet the Philistines: therefore that place was
called The divided Rock.
24

(2) And it came to pass when Saul
returned from pursuing after the Philistines, that it was reported to
him, saying, David is in the wilderness of Engaddi.

(3) And he took with him three

men in front of Saddaeem.

(4) And he came to the flocks of sheep
that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to
make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of
the cave.

(5) And the men of David said to him,
Behold, this is the day of which the Lord spoke to thee, that he would
deliver thine enemy into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as it is
good in thy sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul’s garment
secretly.

(6) And it came to pass after this
that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off the skirt of his
garment.
(ⲍ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⲛ̀ⲛⲉϥⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϫⲉ

(7) And David said to his men, The
Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of
the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the
Lord.

went his way.

him out of the cave: and David cried after Saul, saying, My lord, O king!
and Saul looked behind him, and David bowed with his face to the ground,
and did obeisance to him.

(17) And it came to pass when David

(23) So David swore to Saul: and Saul
departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the strong-hold
of Messera.
25
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Samuel died, and all Israel
assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim:
and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And there was a man in Maon, and
his flocks were in Carmel, and he was a very great man; and he had three
thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing
his flock in Carmel.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the man’s name was Nabal, and
his wife’s name was Abigaia: and his wife was of good understanding and
very beautiful in person: but the man was harsh, and evil in his doings,
and the man was churlish.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And David heard in the wilderness,
that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David sent ten young men, and
he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him
in my name how he is.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And thus shall ye say, May thou
and thy house seasonably prosper, and all thine be in prosperity.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And now, behold, I have heard that
thy shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing thy sheep,
and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all
the time they were in Carmel.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Ask thy servants, and they will
tell thee. Let then thy servants find grace in thine eyes, for we are
come on a good day; give we pray thee, whatsoever thy hand may find, to
thy son David.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So the servants come and speak
these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Nabal sprang up, and answered
the servants of David, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of
Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one
from his master.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And shall I take my bread, and my
wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give
them to men of whom I know not whence they are?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So the servants of David turned
back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these
words.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David said to his men, Gird
on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred
men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And one of the servants reported
to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out
of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the men were very good to us;
they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the
days that we were with them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And when we were in the field,
they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the
days that we were with them feeding the flock.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And now do thou consider, and see
what thou wilt do; for mischief is determined against our lord and
against his house; and he is a vile character, and one cannot speak to
him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Abigaia hasted, and took two
hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed,
and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two
hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And she said to her servants, Go
on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And it came to pass when she had
mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold,
David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And David said, Perhaps I have
kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and
we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has
rewarded me evil for good.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) So God do to David and more also,
if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Abigaia saw David, and she
hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face,
and did obeisance to him, bowing to the ground
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) even to his feet, and said, On
me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray thee, thy servant speak in thine
ears, and hear thou the words of thy servant.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Let not my lord, I pray thee,
take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he;
Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the
servants of my lord whom thou didst send.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And now, my lord, as the Lord
lives, and thy soul lives, as the Lord has kept thee from coming against
innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for thyself, now therefore
let thine enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as
Nabal.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And now accept this token of
goodwill, which thy servant has brought to my lord, and thou shalt give
it to the servants that wait on my lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Remove, I pray thee, the trespass
of thy servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house,
for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be
ever found in thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And if a man shall rise up
persecuting thee and seeking thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be
bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and thou shalt whirl
the life of thine enemies as in the midst of a sling.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And it shall be when the Lord
shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken
concerning thee, and shall appoint thee to be ruler over Israel;
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) then this shall not be an
abomination and offence to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without
cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do
good to my lord, and thou shalt remember thine handmaid to do her good.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And David said to Abigaia,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who sent thee this very day to meet
me:
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) and blessed be thy conduct, and
blessed be thou, who hast hindered me this very day from coming to shed
blood, and from avenging myself.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) But surely as the Lord God of
Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing thee harm, if thou
hadst not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall surely not
be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And David took of her hand all
that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to thy house: see,
I have hearkened to thy voice, and accepted thy petition.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And Abigaia came to Nabal: and,
behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the
heart of Nabal was merry within him, and he was very drunken: and she
told him nothing great or small till the morning light.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And it came to pass in the
morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these
words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And it came to pass after about
ten days, that the Lord smote Nabal, and he died.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And David heard it and said,
Blessed be the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand
of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the
Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent
and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) So the servants of David came to
Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee,
to take thee to himself for a wife.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And she arose, and did reverence
with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy servant is for an
handmaid to wash the feet of thy servants.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And Abigaia arose, and mounted
her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants
of David, and became his wife.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And David took Achinaam out of
Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) And Saul gave Melchol his
daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
26
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Ziphites come out of the
dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, David hides himself with
us in the hill Echela, opposite Jessemon.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Saul arose, and went down to
the wilderness of Ziph, and with him went three thousand men chosen out
of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Saul encamped in the hill of
Echela in front of Jessemon, by the way, and David dwelt in the
wilderness: and David saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And David sent spies, and
ascertained that Saul was come prepared out of Keila.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David arose secretly, and goes
into the place where Saul was sleeping, and there was Abenner the son of
Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul was sleeping in a chariot, and the
people had encamped along round about him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And David answered and spoke to
Abimelech the Chettite, and to Abessa the son Saruia the brother of Joab,
saying, Who will go in with me to Saul into the camp? And Abessa said, I
will go in with thee.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) So David and Abessa go in among
the people by night: and behold, Saul was fast asleep in the chariot, and
his spear was stuck in the ground near his head, and Abenner and his
people slept round about him.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Abessa said to David, The Lord
has this day shut up thine enemy into thine hands, and now I will smite
him to the earth with the spear to the ground once for all, and I will
not smite him again.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And David said to Abessa, Do not
lay him low, for who shall lift up his hand against the anointed of the
Lord, and be guiltless?
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And David said, As the Lord
lives, if the Lord smite him not, or his day come and he die, or he go
down to battle and be added to his fathers, do not so.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The Lord forbid it me that I
should lift up my hand against the anointed of the Lord: and now take, I
pray thee, the spear from his bolster, and the pitcher of water, and let
us return home.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So David took the spear, and the
pitcher of water from his bolster, and they went home: and there was no
one that saw, and no one that knew, and there was no one that awoke, all
being asleep, for a stupor from the Lord had fallen upon them.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) So David went over to the other
side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, and there was a good
distance between them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And David called to the people,
and spoke to Abenner, saying, Wilt thou not answer, Abenner? and Abenner
answered and said, Who art thou that callest?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And David said to Abenner, Art
not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? Why then dost thou not
guard thy lord the king? for one out of the people went in to destroy thy
lord the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And this thing is not good which
thou hast done. As the Lord lives, ye are worthy of death, ye who guard
your lord the king, the anointed of the Lord: and now behold, I pray you,
the spear of the king, and the cruse of water: where are the articles
that should be at his head?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Saul recognized the voice of
David, and said, Is this thy voice, son David? and David said, I am thy
servant, my lord, O king.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And he said, Why does my lord
thus pursue after his servant? for in what have I sinned? and what
unrighteousness has been found in me?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And now let my lord the king hear
the word of his servant. If God stirs thee up against me, let thine
offering be acceptable: but if the sons of men, they are cursed before
the Lord, for they have cast me out this day so that I should not be
established in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other Gods.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And now let not my blood fall to
the ground before the Lord, for the king of Israel has come forth to seek
thy life, as the night hawk pursues its prey in the mountains.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Saul said, I have sinned:
turn, son David, for I will not hurt thee, because my life was precious
in thine eyes; and to-day I have been foolish and have erred exceedingly.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And David answered and said,
Behold, the spear of the king: let one of the servants come over and take
it.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the Lord shall recompense
each according to his righteousness and his truth, since the Lord
delivered thee this day into my hands, and I would not lift my hand
against the Lord’s anointed.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And, behold, as thy life has been
precious this very day in my eyes, so let my life be precious before the
Lord, and may he protect me, and deliver me out of all affliction.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Saul said to David, Blessed
be thou, my son; and thou shalt surely do valiantly, and surely prevail.
And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
27
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And David said in his heart, Now
shall I be one day delivered for death into the hands of Saul; and there
is no good thing for me unless I should escape into the land of the
Philistines, and Saul should cease from seeking me through every coast of
Israel: so I shall escape out of his hand.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) So David arose, and the six
hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son Ammach, king
of Geth.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David dwelt with Anchus, he
and his men, each with his family; and David and both his wives,
Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it was told Saul that David
had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David said to Anchus, If now
thy servant has found grace in thine eyes, let them give me, I pray thee,
a place in one of the cities in the country, and I will dwell there: for
why does thy servant dwell with thee in a royal city?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And he gave him Sekelac in that
day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this
day.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the number of the days that
David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was four months.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And David and his men went up, and
made an attack on all the Gesirites and on the Amalekites: and behold,
the land was inhabited, (even the land from Gelampsur) by those who come
from the fortified cities even to the land of Egypt.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he smote the land, and saved
neither man nor woman alive; and they took flocks, and herds, and asses,
and camels, and raiment; and they returned and came to Anchus.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Anchus said to David, On whom
have ye made an attack to-day? And David said to Anchus, On the south of
Judea, and on the south of Jesmega, and on the south of the Kenezite.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And I have not saved man or woman
alive to bring them to Geth, saying, Lest they carry a report to Geth
against us, saying, These things David does. And this was his manner all
the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So David had the full confidence
of Anchus, who said, He is thoroughly disgraced among his people in
Israel and he shall be my servant for ever.
28
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass in those days
that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go
out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that
thou shalt go forth to battle with me, thou, and thy men.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And David said to Anchus, Thus now
thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So
will I make thee captain of my body-guard continually.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Samuel died, and all Israel
lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul
had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out
of the land.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the Philistines assemble
themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of
Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Saul saw the camp of the
Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Saul enquired of the Lord; and
the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by
prophets.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Then Saul said to his servants,
Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to
her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, there is a
woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Saul disguised himself, and
put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to
the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray thee, by the
divining spirit within thee, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to
thee.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the woman said to him, Behold
now, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in
them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why dost thou
spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Saul swore to her, and said,
As the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon thee on this account.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the woman said, Whom shall I
bring up to thee? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the woman saw Samuel, and
cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why hast thou
deceived me? for thou art Saul.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the king said to her, Fear
not; tell me whom thou has seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods
ascending out of the earth.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he said to her, What didst
thou perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the
earth, and he was clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was
Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to
him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Samuel said, Why hast thou
troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly
distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from
me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets or by
dreams: and now I have called thee to tell me what I shall do.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Samuel said, Why askest thou
me, whereas the Lord has departed from thee, and taken part with thy
neighbour?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the Lord has done to thee, as
the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand,
and will give it to thy neighbour David.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) because thou didst not hearken to
the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon
Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to thee this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the Lord shall deliver Israel
with thee into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow thou and thy
sons with thee shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel
into the hands of the Philistines.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Saul instantly fell at his
full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words
of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten
no bread all that day, and all that night.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the woman went in to Saul,
and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now,
thine handmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my
hand, and have heard the words which thou has spoken to me.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And now hearken, I pray thee, to
the voice of thine handmaid, and I will set before thee a morsel of
bread, and eat, and thou shalt be strengthened, for thou wilt be going on
thy way.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) But he would not eat; so his
servants and the woman constrained him, and he hearkened to their voice,
and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the woman had a fat heifer in
the house; and she hasted and slew it; and she took meal and kneaded it,
and baked unleavened cakes.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And she brought the meat before
Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed
that night.
29
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Philistines gather all
their armies to Aphec, and Israel encamped in Aendor, which is in
Jezrael.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the lords of the Philistines
went on by hundreds and thousands, and David and his men went on in the
rear with Anchus.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the lords of the Philistines
said, Who are these that pass by? And Anchus said to the captains of the
Philistines, Is not this David the servant of Saul king of Israel? He has
been with us some time, even this second year, and I have not found any
fault in him from the day that he attached himself to me even until this
day.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the captains of the
Philistines were displeased at him, and they say to him, Send the man
away, and let him return to his place, where thou didst set him; and let
him not come with us to the war, and let him not be a traitor in the
camp: and wherewith will he be reconciled to his master? Will it not be
with the heads of those men?
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Is not this David whom they
celebrated in dances, saying, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David
his ten thousands?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Anchus called David, and said
to him, As the Lord lives, thou art right and approved in my eyes, and so
is thy going out and thy coming in with me in the army, and I have not
found any evil to charge against thee from the day that thou camest to me
until this day: but thou art not approved in the eyes of the lords.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Now then return and go in peace,
thus thou shalt not do evil in the sight of the lords of the Philistines.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And David said to Anchus, What
have I done to thee? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the
first day that I was before thee even until this day, that I should not
come and war against the enemies of the lord my king?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Anchus answered David, I know
that thou art good in my eyes, but the lords of the Philistines say, He
shall not come with us to the war.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Now then rise up early in the
morning, thou and the servants of thy lord that are come with thee, and
go to the place where I appointed you, and entertain no evil thought in
thy heart, for thou art good in my sight: and rise early for your journey
when it is light, and depart.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) So David arose early, he and his
men, to depart and guard the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines
went up to Jezrael to battle.
30
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass when David and
his men had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an
incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and smitten Sekelac, and
burnt it with fire.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And as to the women and all things
that were in it, great and small, they slew neither man nor woman, but
carried them captives, and went on their way.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David and his men came into
the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their
sons, and their daughters were carried captive.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And David and his men lifted up
their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to
weep.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And both the wives of David were
carried captive, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of
Nabal the Carmelite.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And David was greatly distressed,
because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the
people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David
strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And David said to Abiathar the
priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And David enquired of the Lord,
saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he
said to him, Pursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them, and thou shalt
surely rescue the captives.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So David went, he an the six
hundred men with him, an they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the
superfluous ones stopped.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And he pursued them with four
hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on
the other side of the brook Bosor.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they find an Egyptian in the
field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread
and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And they gave him a piece of a
cake of figs, and he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had
not eaten bread, and had not drunk water three days and three nights.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David said to him, Whose art
thou? and whence art thou? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the
servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill
three days ago.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And we made an incursion on the
south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of
Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac with fire.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And David said to him, Wilt thou
bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that
thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not deliver me into the hands
of my master, and I will bring thee down upon this troop.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) So be brought him down thither,
and behold, they were scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole
land, eating and drinking, and feasting by reason of all the great spoils
which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the
land of Juda.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And David came upon them, and
smote them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and
not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted
on camels, and fled.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And David recovered all that the
Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And nothing was wanting to them
of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or
anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And he took all the flocks, and
the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these
spoils, These are the spoils of David.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And David comes to the two
hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David,
and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came
forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near
to the people, and they asked him how he did.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Then every ill-disposed and bad
man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because
they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils
which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife
and his children, and let them return.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And David said, Ye shall not do
so, after the Lord has delivered the enemy to us, and guarded us, and the
Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against you.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And who will hearken to these
your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion
of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that
abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And it came to pass from that day
forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this
day.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And David came to Sekelac, and
sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying,
Behold some of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) to those in Baethsur, and to
those in Rama of the south, and to those in Gethor.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And to those in Aroer, and to
those in Ammadi, and to those in Saphi, and to those in Esthie,
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) and to those in Geth, and to
those in Cimath, and to those in Saphec, and to those in Themath, and to
those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in
the cities of the Kenezite;
(ⲗ̅)
(30) and to those in Jerimuth, and to
those in Bersabee, and to those in Nombe,
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) and to those in Chebron, and to
all the places which David and his men had passed through.
31
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Philistines fought with
Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they
fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the Philistines press closely
on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Aminadab,
and Melchisa son of Saul.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the battle prevails against
Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was
wounded under the ribs.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Saul said to his
armour-bearer, Draw thy sword and pierce me through with it; lest these
uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his
armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword
and fell upon it.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And his armour-bearer saw that
Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with
him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) So Saul died, and his three sons,
and his armour-bearer, in that day together.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the men of Israel who were on
the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men
of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave
their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And it came to pass on the morrow
that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his
three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And they turned him, and stripped
off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending
round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they set up his armour at the
temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the inhabitants of Jabis
Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And they rose up, even every man
of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body
of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to
Jabis, and burn them there.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And they take their bones, and
bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after Saul was
dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days
in Sekelac.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And it came to pass on the third
day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and
his garments were rent, and earth was upon his head: and it came to pass
when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance
to him.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David said to him, Whence
comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of
Israel.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And David said to him, What is the
matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many
of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are
dead.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David said to the young man
who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his
son are dead?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the young man that brought the
tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue;
and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots
and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And he looked behind him, and saw
me, and called me; and I said, Behold, here am I.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he said to me, Who art thou?
and I said, I am an Amalekite.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he said to me, Stand, I pray
thee, over me, and slay me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for
all my life is in me.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) So I stood over him and slew him,
because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the
crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and
I have brought them hither to my lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And David laid hold of his
garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their
garments.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And they lamented, and wept, and
fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the
people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were smitten
with the sword.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David said to the young man
who brought the tidings to him, Whence art thou? and he said, I am the
son of an Amalekite sojourner.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And David said to him, How was it
thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the
Lord?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And David called one of his young
men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And David said to him, Thy blood
be upon thine own head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying,
I have slain the anointed of the Lord.

(20) Tell it not in Geth, and tell it

Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

(21) Ye mountains of Gelbue, let not
dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first-fruits be upon you, for
there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the
shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

(22) From the blood of the slain, and
from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and
the sword of Saul turned not back empty.

(23) Saul and Jonathan, the beloved

in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, and
they were stronger than lions.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after this
that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the
cities of Juda? and the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither
shall I go up? and he said, To Chebron.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And David went up thither to
Chebron, he and both his wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia
the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) and the men that were with him,
every one and his family; and they dwelt in the cities of Chebron.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the men of Judea come, and
anoint David there to reign over the house of Juda; and they reported to
David, saying, The men of Jabis of the country of Galaad have buried
Saul.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David sent messengers to the
rulers of Jabis of the country of Galaad, and David said to them, Blessed
be ye of the Lord, because ye have wrought this mercy toward your lord,
even toward Saul the anointed of the Lord, and ye have buried him and
Jonathan his son.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And now may the Lord deal in mercy
and truth towards you: and I also will requite towards you this good
deed, because ye have done this.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And now let your hands be made
strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the
house of Juda have anointed me to be king over them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) But Abenner, the son of Ner, the
commander-in-chief of Saul’s army, took Jebosthe son of Saul, and brought
him up from the camp to Manaem
(ⲑ̅)
(9) and made him king over the land of
Galaad, and over Thasiri, and over Jezrael, and over Ephraim, and over
Benjamin, and over all Israel.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Jebosthe, Saul’s son was forty
years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not
over the house of Juda, who followed David.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the days which David reigned
in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Abenner the son of Ner went
forth, and the servants of Jebosthe the son of Saul, from Manaem to
Gabaon.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Joab the son of Saruia, and
the servants of David, went forth from Chebron, and met them at the
fountain of Gabaon, at the same place: and these sat down by the fountain
on this side, and those by the fountain on that side.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Abenner said to Joab, Let now
the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And there arose and passed over
by number twelve of the children of Benjamin, belonging to Jebosthe the
son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And they seized every one the
head of his neighbour with his hand, and his sword was thrust into the
side of his neighbour, and they fall down together: and the name of that
place was called The portion of the treacherous ones, which is in Gabaon.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the battle was very severe on
that day; and Abenner and the men of Israel were worsted before the
servants of David.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And there were there the three
sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his
feet as a roe in the field.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Asael followed after Abenner,
and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following
Abenner.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Abenner looked behind him,
and said, Art thou Asael himself? and he said, I am.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Abenner said to him, Turn
thou to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for thyself on one of
the young men, and take to thyself his armour: but Asel would not turn
back from following him.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Abenner said yet again to
Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I smite thee to the ground? and how
should I lift up my face to Joab?
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And what does this mean? return
to Joab thy brother? But he would not stand aloof; and Abenner smites him
with the hinder end of the spear on the loins, and the spear went out
behind him, and he falls there and dies on the spot: and it came to pass
that every one that came to the place where Asael fell and died, stood
still.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Joab and Abessa pursued after
Abenner, and the sun went down: and they went as far as the hill of
Amman, which is in the front of Gai, by the desert way of Gabaon.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the children of Benjamin who
followed Abenner gather themselves together, and they formed themselves
into one body, and stood on the top of a hill.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Abenner called Joab, and
said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? knowest thou not that it will
be bitter at last? How long then wilt thou refuse to tell the people to
turn from following our brethren?
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Joab said, As the Lord lives,
if thou hadst not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up
every one from following his brother.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Joab sounded the trumpet, and
all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not
fight any longer.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Abenner and his men departed
at evening, and went all that night, and crossed over Jordan, and went
along the whole adjacent country, and they come to the camp.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Joab returned from following
Abenner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the
people of David, nineteen men, and Asael.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And the servants of David smote
of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abenner, three hundred and
sixty men belonging to him.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And they take up Asael, and bury
him in the tomb of his father in Bethleem. And Joab and the men with him
went all the night, and the morning rose upon them in Chebron.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And there was war for a long time
between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David
grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And sons were born to David in
Chebron: and his first-born was Ammon the son of Achinoom the
Jezraelitess.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And his second son was Daluia, the
son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of
Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the fourth was Ornia, the son
of Aggith, and the fifth was Saphatia, the son of Abital.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the sixth was Jetheraam, the
son of Ægal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And it came to pass while there
was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner
was governing the house of Saul.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Saul had a concubine, Respha,
the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why
hast thou gone in to my father’s concubine?
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Abenner was very angry with
Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog’s head? I
have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul thy father, and
with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of
David, and dost thou this day seek a charge against me concerning injury
to a woman?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) God do thus and more also to
Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
(ⲓ̅)
(10) to take away the kingdom from the
house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over
Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Jebosthe could not any longer
answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Abenner sent messengers to
David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make thy covenant
with me, and, behold, my hand is with thee to bring back to thee all the
house of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David said, With a good will
I will make with thee a covenant: only I demand one condition of thee,
saying, Thou shalt not see my face, unless thou bring Melchol the
daughter of Saul, when thou comest to see my face.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And David sent messengers to
Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took
for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Jebosthe sent, and took her
from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And her husband went with her
weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go,
return; and he returned.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Abenner spoke to the elders
of Israel, saying, In former days ye sought David to reign over you;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and now perform it: for the Lord
has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I
will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Abenner spoke in the ears of
Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all
that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of
Benjamin.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Abenner came to David to
Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men
with him a banquet of wine.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Abenner said to David, I will
arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will
make with him a covenant, and thou shalt reign over all whom thy soul
desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And, behold, the servants of
David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil
with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent
him away, and he had departed in peace.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Joab and all his army came,
and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to
David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Joab went in to the king, and
said, What is this that thou hast done? behold, Abenner came to thee; and
why hast thou let him go, and he has departed in peace?
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Knowest thou not the mischief of
Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy
going out and thy coming in, and to know all things that thou doest?
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Joab returned from David, and
sent messengers to Abenner after him; and they bring him back from the
well of Seiram: but David knew it not.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And he brought back Abenner to
Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him,
laying wait for him: and he smote him there in the loins, and he died for
the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And David heard of it afterwards,
and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of
the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) Let it fall upon the head of
Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting
of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on
a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) For Joab and Abessa his brother
laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at
Gabaon in the battle.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And David said to Joab and to all
the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with
sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And they bury Abenner in Chebron:
and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the
people wept for Abenner.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And the king mourned over
Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) Thy hands were not bound, and thy
feet were not put in fetters: one brought thee not near as Nabal; thou
didst fall before children of iniquity.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And all the people assembled to
weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while
it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also,
if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And all the people took notice,
and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their
sight.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) So all the people and all Israel
perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abenner the
son of Ner.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And the king said to his
servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And that I am this day a mere
kinsman of his, and as it were a subject; but these men the sons of
Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to
his wickedness.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard
that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were
paralyzed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Jebosthe the son of Saul had
two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baana, and
the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the
children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of
Benjamin.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the Berothites ran away to
Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Jonathan Saul’s son had a son
lame of his feet, five years old, and he was in the way when the news of
Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up,
and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell,
and was lamed. And his name was Memphibosthe.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Rechab and Baana the sons of
Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the
house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And, behold, the porter of the
house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab
and Baana went privily into the house:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Jebosthe was sleeping on his
bed in his chamber: and they smite him, and slay him, and take off his
head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they brought the head of
Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head
of Jebosthe the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life; and the Lord
has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as it is this
day: even on Saul thy enemy, and on his seed.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And David answered and Rechab and
Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, As
the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
(ⲓ̅)
(10) he that reported to me that Saul
was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I
seized him and slew him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, as he thought, to
have given a reward for his tidings.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And now evil men have slain a
righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood
of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And David commanded his young
men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they
hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of
Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
5
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And all the tribes of Israel come
to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we are thy bone and
thy flesh.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And heretofore Saul being king
over us, thou was he that didst lead out and bring in Israel: and the
Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be
for a leader to my people Israel.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And all the elders of Israel come
to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in
Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) David was thirty years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Seven years and six months he
reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all
Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And David and his men, departed to
Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to
David, Thou shalt not come in hither: for the blind and the lame
withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And David took first the hold of
Sion: this is the city of David.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And David said on that day, Every
one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the
lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they
say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And David dwelt in the hold, and
it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about
from the citadel, and he built his own house.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And David advanced and became
great, and the Lord Almighty was with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Chiram king of Tyre sent
messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons:
and they built a house for David.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And David knew that the Lord had
prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for
the sake of his people Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David took again wives and
concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had
still more sons and daughters born to him.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And these are the names of those
that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and
Solomon.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Ebear, and Elisue, and
Naphec, and Jephies.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Elisama, and Elidae, and
Eliphalath, (16a) Samae, Jessibath,
Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan,
Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the Philistines heard that
David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to
seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the Philistines came, and
assembled in the valley of the giants.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And David enquired of the Lord,
saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them
into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely
deliver the Philistines into thine hands.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And David came from Upper
Breaches, and smote the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has
destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed;
therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And they leave there their gods,
and David and his men with him took them.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the Philistines came up yet
again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And David enquired of the Lord:
and the Lord said, Thou shalt not go up to meet them: turn from them, and
thou shalt meet them near the place of weeping.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And it shall come to pass when
thou hearest the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping,
then thou shalt go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before
thee to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And David did as the Lord
commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land
of Gazera.

(1) And David again gathered all the

(2) And David arose, and went, he and
all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an
expedition to a distant place, to bring back thence the ark of God, on
which the name of the Lord of Host who dwells between the cherubs upon it
is called.

(3) And they put the ark of the Lord
on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on
the hill, and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon
with the ark.

(5) And David and the children of
Israel were playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily,
and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with
cymbals, and with pipes.

(6) And they come as far as the
threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of
God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of
its place.
(ⲍ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲙⲃⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲡϭ̅ⲥ̅

(7) And the Lord was very angry with
Oza; and God smote him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord
before God.

the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of
Oza until this day.

day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?
(ⲓ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ

(10) And David would not bring in the
ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and
David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ϯⲕⲓⲃⲱⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ

(11) And the ark of the Lord lodged in
the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all
the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.

(12) And it was reported to king
David, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that
he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up
the Ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with
gladness.

(15) And David and all the house of
Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound
of a trumpet.

(16) And it came to pass as the ark
arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked
through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing before the
Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

(17) And they bring the ark of the
Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David
pitched for it: and David offered whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord,
and peace-offerings.

(18) And David made an end of offering
the whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in
the name of the Lord of Hosts.

(19) And he distributed to all the
people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and
women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from
the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.

(20) And David returned to bless his
house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and
saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified to-day, who
was to-day uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one
of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And David said to Melchol, I will
dance before the Lord. Blessed be the Lord who chose me before thy
father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even
over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And I will again uncover myself
thus, and I will be vile in thine eyes, and with the maid-servants by
whom thou saidst that I was not had in honour.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Melchol the daughter of Saul
had no child till the day of her death.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass when the king
sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side
free from all his enemies round about him;
(ⲃ̅)
(2) that the king said to Nathan the
prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord
dwells in the midst of a tent.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Nathan said to the king, Go
and do all that is in thine heart, for the Lord is with thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And it came to pass in that night,
that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Go, and say to my servant David,
Thus says the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For I have not dwelt in a house
from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to
this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,
(ⲍ̅)
(7) wheresoever I went with all
Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I
commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me a
house of Cedar?
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And now thus shalt thou say to my
servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the
sheep-cote, that thou shouldest be a prince over my people, over Israel.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And I was with thee wheresoever
thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies before thee, and I made
thee renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And I will appoint a place for my
people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves,
and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more
afflict them, as he has done from the beginning,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) from the days when I appointed
judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thine
enemies, and the Lord will tell thee that thou shalt build a house to
him.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And it shall come to pass when
thy days shall have been fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy
fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, even thine own issue,
and I will establish his kingdom.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) He shall build for me a house to
my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) I will be to him a father, and he
shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I
chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) But my mercy I will not take from
him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And his house shall be made sure,
and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for
ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) According to all these words, and
according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And king David came in, and sat
before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what is my
house, that thou hast loved me hitherto?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Whereas I was very little before
thee, O Lord, my Lord, yet thou spokest concerning the house of thy
servant for a long time to to come. And is this the law of man, O Lord,
my Lord?
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And what shall David yet say to
thee? and now thou knowest thy servant, O Lord, my Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And thou hast wrought for thy
servant’s sake, and according to thy heart thou hast wrought all this
greatness, to make it known to thy servant,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) that he may magnify thee, O my
Lord; for there is no one like thee, and there is no God, but thou among
all of whom we have heard with our ears.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And what other nation in the
earth is as thy people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for
himself a people to make thee a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that
thou shouldest cast out nations an their tabernacles from the presence of
thy people, whom thou didst redeem for thyself out of Egypt?
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And thou has prepared for thyself
thy people Israel to be a people for ever, and thou, Lord, art become
their God.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And now, O my Lord, the Almighty
Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which thou hast spoken
concerning thy servant and his house: and now as thou hast said,
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Let thy name be magnified for
ever.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) Almighty Lord God of Israel, thou
hast uncovered the ear of thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house:
therefore thy servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And now, O Lord my Lord, thou art
God; and thy words will be true, and thou hast spoken these good things
concerning thy servant.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And now begin and bless the house
of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O
Lord, my Lord, hast spoken, and the house of thy servant shall be blessed
with thy blessing so as to continue for ever.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after this,
that David smote the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took
the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And David smote Moab, and measured
them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were
two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became
servants to David, yielding tribute.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David smote Adraazar the son
of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river
Euphrates.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And David took a thousand of his
chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and
David houghed all his chariot horses, and he reserved to himself a
hundred chariots.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Syria of Damascus comes to
help Adraazar king of Suba, and David smote twenty-two thousand men
belonging to the Syrian.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And David placed a garrison in
Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to
David: and the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And David took the golden
bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and
brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he
went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And king David took from Metebac,
and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that
Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the
furniture.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Thou the king of Hemath heard
that David had smitten all the host of Adraazar.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Thou sent Jedduram his son to
king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his
fighting against Adraazar and smiting him, for he was an enemy to
Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold,
and vessels of brass.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And these king David consecrated
to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out
of all the cities which he conquered,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) out of Idumea, and out of Moab,
and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from
Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David made himself a name:
and when he returned he smote Idumea in Gebelem to the number of eighteen
thousand.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he set garrisons in Idumea,
even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And
the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And David reigned over all
Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Joab the son of Saruia was
over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud was keeper of the records.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and
Achimelech son of Abiathar, were priests; and Sasa was the scribe,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and Banaeas son of Jodae was
councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David,
were princes of the court.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And David said, Is there yet any
one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly with him for
Jonathan’s sake?
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And there was a servant of the
house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call him to David; and the
king said to him, Art thou Siba? and he said, I am thy servant.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the king said, Is there yet a
man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towards him with the mercy
of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame
of his feet.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the king said, Where is he?
and Siba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son
of Amiel of Lodabar.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And king David went, and took him
out of the house of Machir the son Amiel of Lodabar.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Memphibosthe the son of
Jonathan the son of Saul comes to the king David, and he fell upon his
face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and
he said, Behold thy servant.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And David said to him, Fear not,
for I will surely deal mercifully with thee for the sake of Jonathan thy
father, and I will restore to thee all the land of Saul the father of thy
father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Memphibosthe did obeisance,
and said, Who am I thy servant, that thou hast looked upon a dead dog
like me?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the king called Siba the
servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all
his house have I given to the son of thy lord.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And thou, and thy sons, and thy
servants, shall till the land for him; and thou shalt bring in bread to
the son of thy lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of
thy lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen
sons and twenty servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Siba said to the king,
According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will
thy servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of
the sons of the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Memphibosthe had a little
son, and his name was Micha: and all the household of Siba were servants
to Memphibosthe.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Memphibosthe dwelt in
Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king; and he was
lame in both his feet.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after this
that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in
his stead.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And David said, I will shew mercy
to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And
David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his
servants; and the servants of David came into the land of the children of
Ammon.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the princes of the children of
Ammon said to Annon their lord, Is it to honour thy father before thee
that David has sent comforters to thee? Has not David rather sent his
servants to thee that they should search the city, and spy it out and
examine it?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Annon took the servants of
David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst
as far as their haunches, and sent them away.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And they brought David word
concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly
dishonoured: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have
grown, and then ye shall return.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the children of Ammon saw that
the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and
hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty
thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob
with twelve thousand men.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And David heard, and sent Joab and
all his host, even the mighty men.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the children of Ammon went
forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: those of
Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being by themselves in the
field.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Joab saw that the front of the
battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from
behind, and he chose out some of all the young men of Israel, and they
set themselves in array against Syria.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the rest of the people he
gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in
array opposite to the children of Ammon.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And he said, If Syria be too
strong for me, then shall ye help me: and if the children of Ammon be too
strong for thee, then will we be ready to help thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Be thou courageous, let us be
strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the
Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Joab and his people with him
advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the children of Ammon saw
that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered
into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to
Jerusalem.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the Syrians saw that they
were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Adraazar sent and gathered
the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to
Ælam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar was at their head.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And it was reported to David, and
he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Ælam: and the
Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Syria fled from before
Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty
thousand horsemen, and he smote Sobac the captain of his host, and he
died there.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And all the kings the servants of
Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went
over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the
children of Ammon any more.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass when the time
o the year for kings going out to battle had come round, that David sent
Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the
children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbath: but David remained at Jerusalem.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And it came to pass toward
evening, that David arose off his couch, and walked on the roof of the
king’s house, and saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was
very beautiful to look upon.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David sent and enquired about
the woman: and one said, Is not this Bersabee the daughter of Eliab, the
wife of Urias the Chettite?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And David sent messengers, and
took her, and went in to her, and he lay with her: and she was purified
from her uncleanness, and returned to her house.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the woman conceived; and she
sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And David sent to Joab, saying,
Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Urias arrived and went in to
him, and David asked him how Joab was, and how the people were, and how
the war went on.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And David said to Urias, Go to thy
house, and wash thy feet: and Urias departed from the house of the king,
and a portion of meat from the king followed him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Urias slept at the door of the
king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they brought David word,
saying, Urias has not gone down to his house. And David said to Urias,
Art thou not come from a journey? why hast thou not gone down to thy
house?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Urias said to David, The ark,
and Israel, and Juda dwell in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants
of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; and shall I go into my house
to eat and drink, and lie with my wife? how should I do this? as thy soul
lives, I will not do this thing.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And David said to Urias, Remain
here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee go. So Urias remained in
Jerusalem that day and the day following.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David called him, and he ate
before him and drank, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the
evening to lie upon his bed with the servants of his lord, and went not
down to his house.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the morning came, and David
wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he wrote in the letter,
saying, Station Urias in front of the severe part of the fight, and
retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And it came to pass while Joab
was watching against the city, that he set Urias in a place where he knew
that valiant men were.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the men of the city went out,
and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David
fell, and Urias the Chettite died also.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Joab sent, and reported to
David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And he charged the messenger,
saying, When thou hast finished reporting all the events of the war to
the king,
(ⲕ̅)
(20) then it shall come to pass if the
anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to thee, Why did ye draw
nigh to the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from off the
wall?
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Who smote Abimelech the son of
Jerobaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him
from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the
wall? then thou shalt say, Thy servant Urias the Chettite is also dead.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the messenger of Joab went to
the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab
told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab,
and said to the messenger, Why did ye draw nigh to the wall to fight?
knew ye not that ye would be wounded from off the wall? Who smote
Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of
millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to
the wall?
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the messenger said to David,
The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the
field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the archers shot at thy
servants from off the wall, and some of the king’s servants died, and thy
servant Urias the Chettite is dead also.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And David said to the messenger,
Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not the matter be grievous in thine
eyes, for the sword devours one way at one time and another way at
another: strengthen thine array against the city, and destroy it, and
strengthen him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the wife of Urias heard that
Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And the time of mourning expired,
and David sent and took her into his house, and she became his wife, and
bore him a son: but the thing which David did was evil in the eyes of the
Lord.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Lord sent Nathan the
prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two
men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the rich man had very many
flocks and herds.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But the poor man had only one
little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it
grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and
drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And a traveller came to the rich
man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for
the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man’s lamb, and
dressed it for the man that came to him.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And David was greatly moved with
anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, As the Lord lives, the
man that did this thing shall surely die.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And he shall restore the lamb
seven-fold, because he has not spared.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Nathan said to David, Thou art
the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed
thee to be king over Israel, and I rescued thee out the hand of Saul;
(ⲏ̅)
(8) and I gave thee the house of thy
lord, and the wives of thy lord into thy bosom, and I gave to thee the
house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given
thee yet more.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Why hast thou set at nought the
word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? thou hast slain
Urias the Chettite with the sword, and thou hast taken his wife to be thy
wife, and thou hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Now therefore the sword shall not
depart from thy house for ever, because thou has set me at nought, and
thou hast taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be thy wife.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Thus says the Lord, Behold, I
will raise up against thee evil out of thy house, and I will take thy
wives before thine eyes, and will give them to thy neighbour, and he
shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For thou didst it secretly, but I
will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David said to Nathan, I have
sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put
away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Only because thou hast given
great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing,
thy son also that is born to thee shall surely die.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Nathan departed to his house.
And the Lord smote the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore
to David, and it was ill.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And David enquired of God
concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night
upon the ground.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the elders of his house arose
and went to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not rise,
nor did he eat bread with them.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And it came to pass on the
seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to
tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child
was yet alive we spoke to him, and he hearkened not to our voice; and
thou should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do himself
harm.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And David understood that his
servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead:
and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is
dead.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Then David rose up from the
earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and
went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own
house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he
ate.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And his servants said to him,
What is this thing that thou hast done concerning the child? while it was
yet living thou didst fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was
dead thou didst rise up, and didst eat bread, and drink.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And David said, While the child
yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity
me, and the child live?
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) But now it is dead, why should I
fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him,
but he shall not return to me.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And David comforted Bersabee his
wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore
a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And he sent by the hand of Nathan
the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord’s sake.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Joab fought against Rabbath
of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Joab sent messengers to
David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of
waters.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And now gather the rest of the
people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take
the city first, and my name be called upon it.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And David gathered all the
people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And he took the crown of Molchom
their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold,
with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried
forth very much spoil of the city.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And he brought forth the people
that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and
axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did
to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people
returned to Jerusalem.
13
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it happened after this that
Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name was
Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Amnon was distressed even to
sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it
seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Amnon had a friend, and his
name was Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab was
a very cunning man.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And he said to him, What ails thee
that thou art thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? wilt thou
not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother
Abessalom.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon
thy bed, and make thyself sick, and thy father shall come in to see thee;
and thou shalt say to him, Let, I pray thee, Themar my sister come, and
feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may
see and eat at her hands.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) So Ammon lay down, and made
himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the
king, Let, I pray thee, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of
cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And David sent to Themar to the
house, saying, Go now to thy brother’s house, and dress him food.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Themar went to the house of
her brother Amnon, and he was lying down: and she took the dough and
kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And she took the frying pan and
poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send
out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Amnon said to Themar, Bring
in the food into the closet, and I will eat of thy hand. And Themar took
the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into
the chamber.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And she brought them to him to
eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my
sister.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And she said to him, Nay, my
brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do
not this folly.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And I, whither shall I remove my
reproach? and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. And now,
speak, I pray thee, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from
thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) But Amnon would not hearken to
her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with
her.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Then Amnon hated her with very
great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the
love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater
than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Themar spoke to him
concerning this great mischief, greater, said she, than the other that
thou didst me, to send me away: but Amnon would not hearken to her voice.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he called his servant who had
charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this woman out from me, and
shut the door after her.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And she had on her a variegated
robe, for so were the king’s daughters that were virgins attired in their
apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Themar took ashes, and put
them on her head; and she rent the variegated garment that was upon her:
and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Abessalom her brother said to
her, Has thy brother Amnon been with thee? now then, my sister, be
silent, for he is thy brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So
Themar dwelt as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And king David heard of all these
things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son
Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his first-born.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon,
good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling
his sister Themar.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And it came to pass at the end of
two whole years, that they were shearing sheep for Abessalom in Belasor
near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king’s sons.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Abessalom came to the king,
and said, Behold, thy servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and
his servants go with thy servant.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the king said to Abessalom,
Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to thee. And
he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Abessalom said to him, And if
not, let I pray thee, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to
him, Why should he go with thee?
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Abessalom pressed him, and he
sent with him Amnon and all the king’s sons; and Abessalom made a banquet
like the banquet of the king.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Abessalom charged his
servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine,
and I shall say to you, Smite Amnon, and slay him: fear not; for is it
not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And the servants of Abessalom did
to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose
up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And it came to pass, when they
were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain
all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) Then the king arose, and rent his
garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were
standing round him rent their garments.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Jonadab the son of Samaa
brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he
has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them
all is dead; for he was appointed to death by the mouth of Abessalom from
the day that he humbled his sister Themar.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And now let not my lord the king
take the matter to heart, saying, All the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon
only of them is dead.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Abessalom escaped: and the
young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much
people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the
descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen
men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And Jonadab said to the king,
Behold, the king’s sons are present: according to the word of thy
servant, so has it happened.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And it came to pass when he had
finished speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up
their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a
very great weeping.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) But Abessalom fled, and went to
Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and
king David mourned for his son continually.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) So Abessalom fled, and departed
to Gedsur, and was there three years.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And king David ceased to go out
after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his
death.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Joab the son of Saruia knew
that the heart of the king was toward Abessalom.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Joab sent to Thecoe, and took
thence a cunning woman, and said to her, Mourn, I pray thee, and put on
mourning apparel, and anoint thee not with oil, and thou shalt be as a
woman mourning for one that is dead thus for many days.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And thou shalt go to the king, and
speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) So the woman of Thecoe went in to
the king and fell upon her face to the earth, and did him obeisance, and
said, Help, O king, help.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the king said to her, What is
the matter with thee? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my
husband is dead.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And moreover thy handmaid had two
sons, and they fought together in the field, and there was no one to part
them; and the one smote the other his brother, and slew him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And behold the whole family rose
up against thine handmaid, and they said, Give up the one that smote his
brother, and we will put him to death for the life of his brother, whom
he slew, and we will take away even your heir: so they will quench my
coal that is left, so as not to leave my husband remnant or name on the
face of the earth.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the king said to the woman, Go
in peace to thy house, and I will give commandment concerning thee.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the woman of Thecoe said to
the king, On me, my lord, O king, and on my father’s house be the
iniquity, and the king and his throne be guiltless.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the king said, Who was it
that spoke to thee? thou shalt even bring him to me, and one shall not
touch him any more.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And she said, Let now the king
remember concerning his Lord God in that the avenger of blood is
multiplied to destroy, and let them not take away my son. And he said, As
the lord lives, not a hair of thy son shall fall to the ground.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the woman said, Let now thy
servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the woman said, Why hast thou
devised this thing against the people of God? or is this word out of the
king’s mouth as a transgression, so that the king should not bring back
his banished?
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For we shall surely die, and be
as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God
shall take the life, even as he devises to thrust forth from him his
outcast.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And now whereas I came to speak
this word to my lord the king, the reason is that the people will see me,
and thy handmaid will say, Let one now speak to my lord the king, if
peradventure the king will perform the request of his handmaid;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) for the king will hear. Let him
rescue his handmaid out of the hand of the man that seeks to cast out me
and my son from the inheritance of God.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the woman said, If now the
word of my lord the king be gracious, —well: for as an angel of God, so
is my lord the king, to hear good and evil: and the Lord thy God shall be
with thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the king answered, and said
to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the matter which I ask thee.
And the woman said, Let my lord the king by all means speak.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the king said, Is not the
hand of Joab in all this matter with thee? and the woman said to the
king, As thy soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the
right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for
thy servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the
mouth of thine handmaid.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) In order that this form of speech
might come about it was that thy servant Joab has framed this matter: and
my lord is wise as is the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things
that are in the earth.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the king said to Joab, Behold
now, I have done to thee according to this thy word: go, bring back the
young man Abessalom.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Joab fell on his face to the
ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day
thy servant knows that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king,
for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Joab arose, and went to
Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the king said, Let him return
to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house,
and saw not the king’s face.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And there was not a man in Israel
so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown
of his head there was no blemish in him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And when he polled his head, (and
it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew,
heavy upon him,) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head,
two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And there were born to Abessalom
three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very
beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and
she bears to him Abia.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Abessalom remained in
Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king’s face.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Abessalom sent to Joab to
bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to
him the second time, and he would not come.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Abessalom said to his
servants, Behold, Joab’s portion in the field is next to mine, and he has
in it barley; go and set it on fire. And the servants of Abessalom set
the field on fire: and the servants of Joab come to him with their
clothes rent, and they said to him, The servants of Abessalom have set
the field on fire.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Joab arose, and came to
Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my
field on fire?
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Abessalom said to Joab,
Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, and I will send thee to the
king, saying, Why did I come out of Gedsur? it would have been better for
me to have remained there: and now, behold, I have not seen the face of
the king; but if there is iniquity in me, then put me to death.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And Joab went in to the king, and
brought him word: and he called Abessalom, and he went in to the king,
and did him obeisance, and fell upon his face to the ground, even in the
presence of the king; and the king kissed Abessalom.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after this
that Abessalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to
run before him.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Abessalom rose early, and
stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every
man who had a cause, came to the king for judgment, and Abessalom cried
to him, and said to him, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant
is of one of the tribes of Israel.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Abessalom said to him, See,
thy affairs are right and clear, yet thou hast no one appointed of the
king to hear thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Abessalom said, O that one
would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a
cause would come to me, and I would judge him!
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And it came to pass when a man
came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out his hand, and took
hold of him, and kissed him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Abessalom did after this
manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Abessalom
gained the hearts of the men of Israel.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And it came to pass after forty
years, that Abessalom said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows,
which I vowed to the Lord in Chebron.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For thy servant vowed a vow when I
dwelt at Gedsur in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to
Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the king said to him, Go in
peace. And he arose and went to Chebron.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Abessalom sent spies
throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of
the trumpet, then shall ye say, Abessalom is become king in Chebron.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And there went with Abessalom two
hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and
knew not anything.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Abessalom sent to Achitophel
the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where
he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people
with Abessalom were increasingly numerous.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And there came a messenger to
David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And David said to all his
servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we
have no refuge from Abessalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us
speedily, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the
sword.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the king’s servants said to
the king, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold we are
thy servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the king and all his house
went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his concubines to keep
the house.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the king and all his servants
went out on foot; and abode in a distant house.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And all his servants passed on by
his side, and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and they stood by
the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him,
and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six
hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and
every Phelethite, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out
of Geth, and they went on before the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And the king said to Ethi, the
Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return, and dwell with the king,
for thou art a stranger, and thou has come forth as a sojourner out of
thy place.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Whereas thou camest yesterday,
shall I to-day cause thee to travel with us, and shalt thou thus change
thy place? thou didst come forth yesterday, and to-day shall I set thee
in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go whithersoever I may go:
return then, and cause thy brethren to return with thee, and may the Lord
deal mercifully and truly with thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Ethi answered the king and
said, As the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place
wheresoever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there
shall thy servant be.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the king said to Ethi, Come
and pass over with me. So Ethi the Gittite and the king passed over, and
all his servants, and all the multitude with him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And all the country wept with a
loud voice. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kedron; and
the king crossed the brook Kedron: and all the people and the king passed
on toward the way of the wilderness.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And behold also Sadoc, and all
the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord
from Baethar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up,
until all the people had passed out of the city.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the king said to Sadoc, Carry
back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favour in the eyes of
the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will shew me it and its
beauty.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) But if he should say thus, I have
no pleasure in thee; behold, here I am, let him do to me according to
that which is good in his eyes.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And the king said to Sadoc the
priest, Behold, thou shalt return to the city in peace, and Achimaas thy
son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Behold, I continue in arms in
Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) So Sadoc and Abiathar brought
back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued there.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And David went up by the ascent
of the mount of Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered,
and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered every
man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And it was reported to David,
saying, Achitophel also is among the conspirators with Abessalom. And
David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray thee, the counsel of
Achitophel.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And David came as far as Ros,
where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came
out to meet him, having rent his garment, and earth was upon his head.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And David said to him, If thou
shouldest go over with me, then wilt thou be a burden to me;
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) but if thou shall return to the
city, and shalt say to Abessalom, Thy brethren are passed over, and the
king thy father is passed over after me: and now I am thy servant, O
king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of
thy father, and now I am thy humble servant—so shalt thou disconcert for
me, the counsel of Achitophel.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And, behold, there are there with
thee Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that
thou shalt hear of the house of the king, thou shalt report it to Sadoc
and Abiathar the priests.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) Behold, there are there with them
their two sons, Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of
Abiathar; and by them ye shall report to me every word which ye shall
hear.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) So Chusi the friend of David went
into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem.
16
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And David passed on a little way
from Ros; and, behold, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe came to meet him;
and he had a couple of asses laden, and upon them two hundred loaves, and
a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred cakes of dates, and bottle of
wine.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the king said to Siba, What
meanest thou by these? and Siba, said, The asses are for the household of
the king to sit upon, and the loaves and the dates are for the young men
to eat, and the wine is for them that are faint in the wilderness to
drink.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the king said, And where is
the son of thy master? and Siba said to the king, Behold, he remains in
Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore to me
the kingdom of my father.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the king said to Siba, Behold,
all Memphibosthe’s property is thine. And Siba did obeisance and said, My
lord, O king, let me find grace in thine eyes.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And king David came to Baurim;
and, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house
of Saul, and his name was Semei the son of Gera. He came forth and cursed
as he went,
(ⲋ̅)
(6) and cast stones at David, and at
all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men
were on the right and left hand of the king.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And thus Semei said when he cursed
him, Go out, go out, thou bloody man, and man of sin.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The Lord has returned upon thee
all the blood of the house of Saul, because thou hast reigned in his
stead; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Abessalom thy
son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a
bloody man.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Abessa the son of Saruia said
to the king, Why does this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go
over now and take off his head.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the king said, What have I to
do with you, ye sons of Saruia? even let him alone, and so let him curse,
for the Lord has told him to curse David: and who shall say, Why hast
thou done thus?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And David said to Abessa and to
all his servants, Behold, my son who came forth out of my bowels seeks my
life; still more now may the son of Benjamin: let him curse, because the
Lord has told him.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) If by any means the Lord may look
on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And David and all the men with
him went on the way: and Semei went by the side of the hill next to him,
cursing as he went, and casting stones at him, and sprinkling him with
dirt.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the king, and all the people
with him, came away and refreshed themselves there.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Abessalom and all the men of
Israel went into Jerusalem, and Achitophel with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And it came to pass when Chusi
the chief friend of David came to Abessalom, that Chusi said to
Abessalom, Let the king live.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Abessalom said to Chusi, Is
this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not forth with thy
friend?
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Chusi said to Abessalom, Nay,
but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israel have chosen,
—his will I be, and with him I will dwell.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And again, whom shall I serve?
should I not in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of thy
father, so will I be in thy presence.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Abessalom said to Achitophel,
Deliberate among yourselves concerning what we should do.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Achitophel said to Abessalom,
Go in to thy father’s concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all
Israel shall hear that thou hast dishonoured thy father; and the hands of
all that are with thee shall be strengthened.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And they pitched a tent for
Abessalom on the roof, and Abessalom went in to his father’s concubines
in the sight of all Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the counsel of Achitophel,
which he counselled in former days, was as if one should enquire of the
word of God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel both to David and also
to Abessalom.
17
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And Achitophel said to Abessalom,
Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise
and follow after David this night:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) and I will come upon him when he
is weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the
people with him shall flee, and I will smite the king only of all.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And I will bring back all the
people to thee, as a bride returns to her husband: only thou seekest the
life of one man, and all the people shall have peace.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the saying was right in the
eyes of Abessalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Abessalom said, Call now also
Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what is in his mouth, even in his
also.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Chusi went in to Abessalom,
and Abessalom spoke to him, saying, After this manner spoke Achitophel:
shall we do according to his word? but if not, do thou speak.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Chusi said to Abessalom, This
counsel which Achitophel has counselled this one time is not good.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And Chusi said, Thou knowest thy
father and his men, that they are very mighty, and bitter in their
spirit, as a bereaved bear in the field, [[and as a wild boar in the
plain]]: and thy father is a man of war, and will not give the people
rest.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For, behold, he is now hidden in
one of the hills or in some other place: and it shall come to pass when
he falls upon them at the beginning, that some one will certainly hear,
and say, There has been a slaughter among the people that follow after
Abessalom.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Then even he that is strong,
whose heart is as the heart of a lion, —it shall utterly melt: for all
Israel knows that thy father is mighty, and they that are with him are
mighty men.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For thus I have surely given
counsel, that all Israel be generally gathered to thee from Dan even to
Bersabee, as the sand that is upon the sea-shore for multitude: and that
thy presence go in the midst of them.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And we will come upon him in one
of the places where we shall find him, and we will encamp against him, as
the dew falls upon the earth; and we will not leave of him and of his men
so much as one.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And if he shall have taken refuge
with his army in a city, then shall all Israel take ropes to that city,
and we will draw it even into the river, that there may not be left there
even a stone.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Abessalom, and all the men of
Israel said, The counsel of Chusi the Arachite is better than the counsel
of Achitophel. For the Lord ordained to disconcert the good counsel of
Achitophel, that the Lord might bring all evil upon Abessalom.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Chusi the Arachite said to
Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Achitophel counselled
Abessalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And now send quickly and report
to David, saying, Lodge not this night in Araboth of the wilderness: even
go and make haste, lest one swallow up the king, and all the people with
him.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Jonathan and Achimaas stood
by the well of Rogel, and a maid-servant went and reported to them, and
they go and tell king David; for they might not be seen to enter into the
city.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) But a young man saw them and told
Abessalom: and the two went quickly, and entered into the house of a man
in Baurim; and he had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And a woman took a covering, and
spread it over the mouth of the well, and spread out ground corn upon it
to dry, and the thing was not known.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And the servants of Abessalom
came to the woman into the house, and said, Where are Achimaas and
Jonathan? and the woman said to them, They are gone a little way beyond
the water. And they sought and found them not, and returned to Jerusalem.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And it came to pass after they
were gone, that they came up out of the pit, and went on their way; and
reported to king David, and said to David, Arise ye and go quickly over
the water, for thus has Achitophel counselled concerning you.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And David rose up and all the
people with him, and they passed over Jordan till the morning light;
there was not one missing who did not pass over Jordan.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Achitophel saw that his
counsel was not followed, and he saddled his ass, and rose and departed
to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and
hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And David passed over to Manaim:
and Abessalom crossed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Abessalom appointed Amessai
in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose
name was Jether of Jezrael: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas,
the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And all Israel and Abessalom
encamped in the land of Galaad.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And it came to pass when David
came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of
Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of
Rogellim,
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) brought ten embroidered beds,
(with double coverings,) and ten caldrons, and earthenware, and wheat,
and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse,
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) and honey, and butter, and sheep,
and cheeses of kine: and they brought them to David and to his people
with him to eat; for one said, The people is faint and hungry and thirsty
in the wilderness.
18
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And David numbered the people with
him, and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And David sent away the people,
the third part under the hand of Joab, and the third part under the hand
of Abessa the son of Saruia, the brother of Joab, and the third part
under the hand of Ethi the Gittite. And David said to the people, I also
will surely go out with you.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And they said, Thou shalt not go
out: for if we should indeed flee, they will not care for us; and if half
of us should die, they will not mind us; for thou art as ten thousand of
us: and now it is well that thou shalt be to us an aid to help us in the
city.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the king said to them,
Whatsoever shall seem good in your eyes I will do. And the king stood by
the side of the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by
thousands.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the king commanded Joab and
Abessa and Ethi, saying, Spare for my sake the young man Abessalom. And
all the people heard the king charging all the commanders concerning
Abessalom.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And all the people went out into
the wood against Israel; and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the people of Israel fell down
there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter in
that day, even twenty thousand men.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the battle there was scattered
over the face of all the land: and the wood consumed more of the people
than the sword consumed among the people in that day.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Abessalom went to meet the
servants of David: and Abessalom was mounted on his mule, and the mule
came under the thick boughs of a great oak; and his head was entangled in
the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth; and the mule
passed on from under him.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And a man saw it, and reported to
Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Abessalom hanging in an oak.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And Joab said to the man who
reported it to him, And, behold, thou didst see him: why didst thou not
smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten pieces of
silver, and a girdle.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the man said to Joab, Were I
even to receive a thousand shekels of silver, I would not lift my hand
against the king’s son; for in our ears the king charged thee and Abessa
and Ethi, saying, Take care of the young man Abessalom for me,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) so as to do no harm to his life:
and nothing of the matter will be concealed from the king, and thou wilt
set thyself against me.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Joab said, I will begin this;
I will not thus remain with thee. And Joab took three darts in his hand,
and thrust them into the heart of Abessalom, while he was yet alive in
the heart of the oak.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And ten young men that bore
Joab’s armour compassed Abessalom, and smote him and slew him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Joab blew the trumpet, and
the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab spared the people.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he took Abessalom, and cast
him into a great cavern in the wood, into a deep pit, and set up over him
a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every man to his tent.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Now Abessalom while yet alive had
taken and set up for himself the pillar near which he was taken, and set
it up so as to have the pillar in the king’s dale; for he said he had no
son to keep his name in remembrance: and he called the pillar,
Abessalom’s hand, until this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Achimaas the son of Sadoc
said, Let me run now and carry glad tidings to the king, for the Lord has
delivered him from the hand of his enemies.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Joab said to him, Thou shalt
not be a messenger of glad tidings this day; thou shalt bear them another
day; but on this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king’s son
is dead.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Joab said to Chusi, Go,
report to the king all that thou hast seen. And Chusi did obeisance to
Joab, and went out.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Achimaas the son of Sadoc
said again to Joab, Nay, let me also run after Chusi. And Joab said, Why
wouldest thou thus run, my son? attend, thou hast no tidings for profit
if thou go.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And he said, Why should I not
run? and Joab said to him, Run. And Achimaas ran along the way of Kechar,
and outran Chusi.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And David was sitting between the
two gates: and the watchman went up on the top of the gate of the wall,
and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone before
him.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the watchman cried out, and
reported to the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there are good
tidings in his mouth. And the man came and drew near.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the watchman saw another man
running: and the watchman cried at the gate, and said, And look, another
man running alone. And the king said, He also brings glad tidings.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And the watchman said, I see the
running of the first as the running of Achimaas the son of Sadoc. And the
king said, He is a good man, and will come to report glad tidings.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And Achimaas cried out and said
to the king, Peace. And he did obeisance to the king with his face to the
ground, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, who has delivered up the
men that lifted up their hands against my lord the king.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And the king said, Is the young
man Abessalom safe? and Achimaas said, I saw a great multitude at the
time of Joab’s sending the king’s servant and thy servant, and I knew not
what was there.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And the king said, Turn aside,
stand still here. And he turned aside, and stood.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And, behold, Chusi came up, and
said to the king, Let my lord the king hear glad tidings, for the Lord
has avenged thee this day upon all them that rose up against thee.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And the king said to Chusi, Is it
well with the young man Abessalom? and Chusi said, Let the enemies of my
lord the king, and all whosoever have risen up against him for evil, be
as that young man.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And the king was troubled, and
went to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and thus he said as he went,
My son Abessalom, my son, my son Abessalom; would God I had died for
thee, even I had died for thee, Abessalom, my son, my son!
19
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And they brought Joab word,
saying, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Abessalom.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the victory was turned that
day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day,
The king grieves after his son.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the people stole away that day
to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they
flee in the battle.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the king hid his face: and the
king cried with a loud voice, My son Abessalom! Abessalom my son!
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Joab went in to the king, into
the house, and said, Thou hast this day shamed the faces of all thy
servants that have delivered thee this day, and have saved the lives of
thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and of thy
concubines,
(ⲋ̅)
(6) forasmuch as thou lovest them that
hate thee, and hatest them that love thee; and thou hast this day
declared, that thy princes and thy servants are nothing in thy sight: for
I know this day, that if Abessalom were alive, and all of us dead to-day,
then it would have been right in thy sight.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And now arise, and go forth, and
speak comfortably to thy servants; for I have sworn by the Lord, that
unless thou wilt go forth to-day, there shall not a man remain with thee
this night: and know for thyself, this thing will indeed be evil to thee
beyond all the evil that has come upon thee from thy youth until now.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Then the king arose, and sat in
the gate: and all the people reported, saying, Behold, the king sits in
the gate. And all the people went in before the king to the gate; for
Israel had fled every man to his tent.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And all the people disputed among
all the tribes of Israel, saying, King David delivered us from all our
enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines: and now he
has fled from the land, and from his kingdom, and from Abessalom.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Abessalom, whom we anointed
over us, is dead in battle: and now why are ye silent about bringing back
the king? And the word of all Israel came to the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And king David sent to Sadoc and
Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Why
are ye the last to bring back the king to his house? whereas the word of
all Israel is come to the king to his house.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Ye are my brethren, ye are my
bones and my flesh: why are ye the last to bring back the king to his
house?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And ye shall say to Amessai, Art
thou not my bone and my flesh? and now God do so to me, and more also, if
thou shalt not be commander of the host before me continually in the room
of Joab.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he bowed the heart of all the
men of Juda as that of one man; and they sent to the king, saying, Return
thou, and all thy servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the king returned, and came
as far s Jordan. And the men of Juda came to Galgala on their way to meet
the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Semei the son of Gera, the
Benjamite, of Baurim, hasted and went down with the men of Juda to meet
king David.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And a thousand men of Benjamin
were with him, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen
sons with him, and his twenty servants with him: and they went directly
down to Jordan before the king,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and they performed the service of
bringing the king over; and there went over a ferry-boat to remove the
household of the king, and to do that which was right in his eyes. And
Semei the son of Gera fell on his face before the king, as he went over
Jordan;
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) and said to the king, Let not my
lord now impute iniquity, and remember not all the iniquity of thy
servant in the day in which my lord went out from Jerusalem, so that the
king should mind it.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) For thy servant knows that I have
sinned: and, behold, I am come to-day before all Israel and the house of
Joseph, to go down and meet my lord the king.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Abessai the son of Saruia
answered and said, Shall not Semei therefore be put to death, because he
cursed the Lord’s anointed?
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And David said, What have I to do
with you, ye sons of Saruia, that ye as it were lie in wait against me
this day? to-day no man in Israel shall be put to death, for I know not
if I this day reign over Israel.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the king said to Semei, Thou
shalt not die: and the king swore to him.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Memphibosthe the son of
Saul’s son went down to meet the king, and had not dressed his feet, nor
pared his nails, nor shaved himself, neither had he washed his garments,
from the day that the king departed, until the day when he arrived in
peace.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And it came to pass when he went
into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why didst
thou not go with me, Memphibosthe?
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And Memphibosthe said to him, My
lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said to him, Saddle
me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and go with the king; for thy
servant is lame.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And he has dealt deceitfully with
thy servant to my lord the king: but my lord the king is as an angel of
God, and do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) For all the house of my father
were but as dead men before my lord the king; yet thou hast set thy
servant among them that eat at thy table: and what right have I any
longer even to cry to the king?
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And the king said to him, Why
speakest thou any longer of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Siba shall
divide the land.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Memphibosthe said to the
king, Yea, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to
his house.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Berzelli the Galaadite came
down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might
conduct the king over Jordan.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Berzelli was a very old man,
eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he dwelt in Manaim;
for he was a very great man.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And the king said to Berzelli,
Thou shalt go over with me, and I will nourish thine old age with me in
Jerusalem.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And Berzelli said to the king,
How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with
the king to Jerusalem?
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) I am this day eighty years old:
can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can thy servant taste any
longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing
men or singing women? and wherefore shall thy servant any longer be a
burden to my lord the king?
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) Thy servant will go a little way
over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this
recompense?
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) Let, I pray thee, thy servant
remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my
mother. And, behold, thy servant Chamaam shall go over with my lord the
king; and do thou to him as it seems good in thine eyes.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And the king said, Let Chamaam go
over with me, and I will do to him what is good in my sight; and
whatsoever thou shalt choose at my hand, I will do for thee.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And all the people went over
Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Berzelli, and blessed
him; and he returned to his place.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And the king went over to
Galgala, and Chamaam went over with him: and all the men of Juda went
over with the king, and also half the people of Israel.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And behold, all the men of Israel
came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of
Juda stolen thee away, and caused the king and all his house to pass over
Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And all the men of Juda answered
the men of Israel, and said, Because the king is near of kin to us: and
why were you thus angry concerning this matter? have we indeed eaten of
the king’s food? or has he given us a gift, or has he sent us a portion?
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And the men of Israel answered
the men of Juda, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are
older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have
ye thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of
Juda, to bring back our king? And the speech of the men of Juda was
sharper than the speech of the men of Israel.
20
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And there was a transgressor so
called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori:
and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither
have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae: to thy tents, O Israel,
every one.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And all the men of Israel went up
from following David after Sabee the son of Bochori: but the men of Juda
adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David went into his house at
Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had
left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and
maintained them, and went not in to them; and they were kept living as
widows, till the day of their death.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the king said to Amessai, Call
to me the men of Juda for three days, and do thou be present here.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Amessai went to call Juda, and
delayed beyond the time which David appointed him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And David said to Amessai, Now
shall Sabee the son of Bochori do us more harm than Abessalom: now then
take thou with thee the servants of thy lord, and follow after him, lest
he find for himself strong cities, so will he blind our eyes.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And there went out after him
Amessai and the men of Joab, and the Cherethites, and the Phelethites,
and all the mighty men: and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after
Sabee the son of Bochori.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they were by the great stone
that is in Gabaon: and Amessai went in before them: and Joab had upon him
a military cloak over his apparel, and over it he was girded with a
dagger fastened upon his loins in its scabbard: and the dagger came out,
it even came out and fell.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Joab said to Amessai, Art thou
in health, my brother? and the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard
of Amessai to kiss him.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Amessai observed not the
dagger that was in the hand of Joab: and Joab smote him with it on the
loins, and his bowels were shed out upon the ground, and he did not
repeat the blow, and he died: and Joab and Abessai his brother pursued
after Sabee the son of Bochori.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And there stood over him one of
the servants of Joab, and said, Who is he that is for Joab, and who is on
the side of David following Joab?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Amessai was weltering in
blood in the midst of the way. And a man saw that all the people stood
still; and he removed Amessai out of the path into a field, and he cast a
garment upon him, because he saw every one that came to him standing
still.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And when he was quickly removed
from the road, every man of Israel passed after Joab to pursue after
Sabee the son of Bochori.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he went through all the
tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmacha; and all in Charri too were
assembled, and followed after him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And they came and besieged him in
Abel and Phermacha: and they raised a mound against the city and it stood
close to the wall; and all the people with Joab proposed to throw down
the wall.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And a wise woman cried from the
wall, and said, Hear, hear; say, I pray ye, to Joab, Draw near hither,
and I will speak to him.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he drew nigh to her, and the
woman said to him, Art thou Joab? and he said, I am. And she said to him,
Hear the words of thy handmaid; and Joab said, I do hear.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And she spoke, saying, Of old
time they said thus, Surely one was asked in Abel, and Dan, whether the
faithful in Israel failed in what they purposed; they will surely ask in
Abel, even in like manner, whether they have failed.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) I am a peaceable one of the
strong ones in Israel; but thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother
city in Israel: why dost thou seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord?
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Joab answered and said, Far
be it, far be it from me, that I should ruin or destroy.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Is not the case thus, that a man
of mount Ephraim, Sabee, son of Bochori by name, has even lifted up his
hand against king David? Give him only to me, and I will depart from the
city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to
thee over the wall.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the woman went in to all the
people, and she spoke to all the city in her wisdom; and they took off
the head of Sabee the son of Bochori; and took it away and threw it to
Joab: and he blew the trumpet, and the people separated from the city
away from him, every man to his tent: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to
the king.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And Joab was over all the forces
of Israel: and Banaias the son of Jodae was over the Cherethites and over
the Phelethites.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And Adoniram was over the
tribute: and Josaphath the son of Achiluth was recorder.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And Susa was scribe: and Sadoc
and Abiathar were priests.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Moreover Iras the son of Iarin
was priest to David.
21
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And there was a famine in the days
of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the
Lord. And the Lord said, There is guilt upon Saul and his house because
of his bloody murder, whereby he slew the Gabaonites.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And King David called the
Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children
of Israel, but are of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of
Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for
the children of Israel and Juda.)
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And David said to the Gabaonites,
What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that ye
may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the Gabaonites said to him, We
have no question about silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and
there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he said, What say ye? speak,
and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would
have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to
destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing
in all the coasts of Israel.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Let one give us seven men of his
sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul,
as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) But the king spared Memphibosthe
son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was
between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the king took the two sons of
Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and
Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore
to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And he gave them into the hand of
the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before
the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put
to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of
barley-harvest.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Respha the daughter of Aia
took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of
barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did
not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts
of the field by night.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And it was told David what Respha
the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint,
and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And David went and took the bones
of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of
Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the
Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines smote Saul
in Gelbue.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he carried up thence the
bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones
of them that had been hanged.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And they buried the bones of Saul
and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been
hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his
father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this
God hearkened to the prayers of the land.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And there was yet war between the
Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him,
and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Jesbi, who was of the progeny
of Rapha, and the head of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass
in weight, who also was girt with a club, even he thought to smite David.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Abessa the son of Saruia
helped him and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then the men of David
swore, saying, Thou shalt not any longer go out with us to battle, and
thou shalt not quench the lamp of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And after this there was a battle
again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite slew
Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And there was a battle in Rom
with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite slew
Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear was as a weaver’s beam.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And there was yet a battle in
Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and
the toes of his feet were six on each, four and twenty in number: and he
also was born to Rapha.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And he defied Israel, and
Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, smote him.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) These four were born descendants
of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of
David, and by the hand of his servants.
22
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And David spoke to the Lord the
words of this song, in the day in which the Lord rescued him out of the
hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the song was thus: O Lord, my
rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) my God; he shall be to me my
guard, I will trust in him: he is my protector, and the horn of my
salvation, my helper, and my sure refuge; thou shalt save me from the
unjust man.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) I will call upon the Lord who is
worthy to be praised, and I shall be saved from my enemies.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For the troubles of death
compassed me, the floods of iniquity amazed me:
(ⲋ̅)
(6) the pangs of death surrounded me,
the agonies of death prevented me.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) When I am afflicted I will call
upon the Lord, and will cry to my God, and he shall hear my voice out of
his temple, and my cry shalt come into his ears.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the earth was troubled and
quaked, and the foundations of heaven were confounded and torn asunder,
because the Lord was wroth with them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) There went up a smoke in his
wrath, and fire out of his mouth devours: coals were kindled at it.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And he bowed the heavens, and
came down, and there was darkness under his feet.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And he rode upon the cherubs and
did fly, and was seen upon the wings of the wind.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And he made darkness his
hiding-place; his tabernacle round about him was the darkness of waters,
he condensed it with the clouds of the air.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) At the brightness before him
coals of fire were kindled.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) The Lord thundered out of heaven,
and the Most High uttered his voice.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he sent forth arrows, and
scattered them, and he flashed lightning, and dismayed them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the channels of the sea were
seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuke of
the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his anger.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) He sent from above and took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) He delivered me from my strong
enemies, from them that hated me, for they were stronger than I.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) The days of my affliction
prevented me; but the Lord was my stay.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And he brought me into a wide
place, and rescued me, because he delighted in me.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the Lord recompensed me
according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands
did he recompense me.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Because, I kept the ways of the
Lord, and did not wickedly depart from my God.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For all his judgments and his
ordinances were before me: I departed not from them.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And I shall be blameless before
him, and will keep myself from my iniquity.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And the Lord will recompense me
according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands in
his eye-sight.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) With the holy thou wilt be holy,
and with the perfect man thou will be perfect,
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) and with the excellent thou wilt
be excellent, and with the froward thou will be froward.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And thou wilt save the poor
people, and wilt bring down the eyes of the haughty.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) For thou, Lord, art my lamp, and
the Lord shall shine forth to me in my darkness.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) For by thee shall I run as a
girded man, and by my God shall I leap over a wall.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) As for the Mighty One, his way is
blameless: the word of the Lord is strong and tried in the fire: he is a
protector to all that put their trust in him.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) Who is strong, but the Lord? and
who will be a Creator except our God?
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) It is the Mighty One who
strengthens me with might, and has prepared my way without fault.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) He makes my feet like hart’s
feet, and sets me upon the high places.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) He teaches my hands to war, and
has broken a brazen bow by my arm.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And thou hast given me the shield
of my salvation, and thy propitious dealing has increased me,
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) so as to make room under me for
my going, and my legs did not totter.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) I will pursue my enemies, and
will utterly destroy them; and I will not turn again till I have consumed
them.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And I will crush them, and they
shall not rise; and they shall fall under my feet.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And thou shalt strengthen me with
power for the war; thou shalt cause them that rise up against me to bow
down under me.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And thou hast caused mine enemies
to flee before me, even them that hated me, and thou hast slain them.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) They shall cry, and there shall
be no helper; to the Lord, but he hearkens not to them.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And I ground them as the dust of
the earth, I beat them small as the mire of the streets.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) And thou shalt deliver me from
the striving of the peoples, thou shalt keep me to be the head of the
Gentiles: a people which I knew not served me.
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(45) The strange children feigned
obedience to me; they hearkened to me as soon as they heard.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅)
(46) The strange children shall be
cast away, and shall be overthrown out of their hiding places.
(ⲙ̅ⲍ̅)
(47) The Lord lives, and blessed be my
guardian, and my God, my strong keeper, shall be exalted.
(ⲙ̅ⲏ̅)
(48) The Lord who avenges me is
strong, chastening the nations under me,
(ⲙ̅ⲑ̅)
(49) and bringing me out from my
enemies: and thou shalt set me on high from among those that rise up
against me: thou shalt deliver me from the violent man.
(ⲛ̅)
(50) Therefore will I confess to thee,
O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.
(ⲛ̅ⲁ̅)
(51) He magnifies the salvation of his
king, and works mercy for his anointed, even for David and for his seed
for ever.
23
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And these are the last words of
David. Faithful is David the son of Jessae, and faithful the man whom the
Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful are
the psalms of Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The Spirit of the Lord spoke by
me, and his word was upon my tongue.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The God of Israel says, A watchman
out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will ye
strengthen the fear of the anointed?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And in the morning light of God,
let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed
on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For my house is not so with the
Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready,
guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire is, that
the wicked should not flourish.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) All these are as a thorn thrust
forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,
(ⲍ̅)
(7) and a man shall not labour among
them; and one shall have that which is fully armed with iron, and the
staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be
burnt in their shame.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) These are the names of the mighty
men of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third part:
Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at
once.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And after him Eleanan the son of
his uncle, son of Dudi who was among the three mighty men with David; and
when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the
men of Israel went up.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) He arose an smote the
Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword:
and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested
behind him only to strip the slain.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And after him Samaia the son of
Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there
was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled
before the Philistines.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And he stood firm in the midst of
the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord
wrought a great deliverance.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And three out of the thirty went
down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and there was
an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And David was then in the strong
hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethleem.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And David longed, and said, Who
will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the
gate? now the band of the Philistines was then in Bethleem.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the three mighty men broke
through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that
was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David,
and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he said, O Lord, forbid that
I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at
the risk of their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did
these three mighty men.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Abessa the brother of Joab
the son of Saruia, he was chief among the three, and he lifted up his
spear against three hundred whom he slew; and he had a name among three.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Of those three he was most
honourable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the
first three.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Banaeas the son of Jodae, he
was abundant in mighty deeds, from Cabeseel, and he smote the two sons of
Ariel of Moab: and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on
a snowy day.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) He smote an Egyptian, a wonderful
man, and in the hand of the Egyptian was a spear as the side of a ladder;
and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the
Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) These things did Banaeas the son
of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) He was honourable among the
second three, but he reached not to the first three: and David made him
his reporter. And these are the names of King David’s mighty men.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Asael Joab’s brother; he was
among the thirty. Eleanan son of Dudi his uncle in Bethleem.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the Lord caused his anger to
burn forth again in Israel, and Satan stirred up David against them,
saying, Go, number Israel and Juda.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the king said to Joab
commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of
Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I
will know the number of the people.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Joab said to the king, Now may
the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and may
the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire
this thing?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Nevertheless the word of the king
prevailed against Joab an the captains of the host: And Joab and the
captains of the host went out before the king to number the people of
Israel.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And they went over Jordan, and
encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the
valley of Gad and Eliezer.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And they came to Galaad, and into
the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan,
and compassed Sidon.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And they came to Mapsar of Tyre,
and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by
the South of Juda to Bersabee.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And they compassed the whole land;
and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Joab gave in the number of the
census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred
thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred
thousand fighting men.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the heart of David smote him
after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have
sinned grievously, O Lord, in what I have now done: remove, I pray thee,
the iniquity of thy servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And David rose early in the
morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer,
saying, Go, and speak to David, saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Thus saith the Lord, I bring one
of three things upon thee: now choose thee one of them, and I will do it
to thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Gad went in to David, and
told him, and said to him, Choose one of these things to befall thee,
whether there shall come upon thee for three years famine in thy land; or
that thou shouldest flee three months before thine enemies, and they
should pursue thee; or that there should be for three days mortality in
thy land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that
sent me.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And David said to Gad, On every
side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord,
for his compassions are very many; and let me not fall into the hands of
man.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) So David chose for himself the
mortality: and they were the days of wheat-harvest; and the Lord sent a
pestilence upon Israel from morning till noon, and the plague began among
the people; and there died of the people from Dan even to Bersabee
seventy thousand men.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the angel of the Lord
stretched out his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, and the Lord
repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It
is enough now, withhold thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the
threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And David spoke to the Lord when
he saw the angel smiting the people, and he said, Behold, it is I that
have done wrong, but these sheep what have they done? Let thy hand, I
pray thee, be upon me, and upon my father’s house.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Gad came to David in that
day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord and altar in the
threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And David went up according to
the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Orna looked out, and saw the
king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did
obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Orna said, Why has my lord
the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of thee the
threshing-floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague
may be restrained from off the people.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Orna said to David, Let my
lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes:
behold, here are oxen for a whole-burnt-offering, and the wheels and
furniture of the oxen for wood.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Orna gave all to the king: and
Orna said to the king, The Lord thy God bless thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the king said to Orna, Nay,
but I will surely buy it of thee at a fair price, and I will not offer to
the Lord my God a whole-burnt-offering for nothing. So David purchased
the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And David built there an altar to
the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and
Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at
first. And the Lord hearkened to the land, and the plague was stayed from
Israel.

(1) And the days of David drew near
that he should die: and he addressed his son Solomon, saying, I go the
way of all the earth:
(ⲃ̅) ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ϯⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ϩⲓ ⲫⲙⲱⲓⲧ

(2) but be thou strong, and shew

(ⲅ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲕⲉ̀ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉ̀ϯϫⲓⲛⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ
ⲡϭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲉ̀ⲑⲣⲉⲕⲙⲟϣⲓ ϩⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲉ̀ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉ̀ⲛⲉϥⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ

ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉ̀ϯⲛⲁϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲛⲕ ⲉ̀ⲣⲱⲟⲩ
(3) and keep the charge of the Lord
thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep the commandments and the ordinances
and the judgments which are written in the law of Moses; that thou mayest
understand what thou shalt do in all things that I command thee:
(ⲇ̅) ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲡϭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲓ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉϥⲥⲁϫⲓ

ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅
(4) that the Lord may confirm his word
which he spoke, saying, If thy children shall take heed to their way to
walk before me in truth with all their heart, I promise thee, saying,
there shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Moreover thou knowest all that
Joab the son of Saruia did to me, what he did to the two captains of the
forces of Israel, to Abenner the son of Ner, and to Amessai the son of
Jether, that he slew them, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put
innocent blood on his girdle that was about his loins, and on his sandal
that was on his foot.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Therefore thou shalt deal with him
according to thy wisdom, and thou shalt not bring down his grey hairs in
peace to the grave.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) But thou shalt deal kindly with
the sons of Berzelli the Galaadite, and they shall be among those that
eat at thy table; for thus they drew nigh to me when I fled from the face
of thy brother Abessalom.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And, behold, there is with thee
Semei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Baurim: and he cursed me with a
grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp; and he came down to
Jordan to meet me, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put
thee to death with the sword.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) But thou shalt by no means hold
him guiltless, for thou art a wise man, and wilt know what thou shalt do
to him, and shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave.
(ⲓ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⲛⲉⲙ

(10) And David slept with his fathers,
and was buried in the city of David.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the days which David reigned
over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Chebron, and
thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Solomon sat on the throne of
his father David, and his kingdom was established greatly.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Adonias the son of Aggith
came in to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, and did obeisance to her: and
she said, Dost thou enter peaceably? and he said, Peaceably:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) I have business with thee. And
she said to him, Say on.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he said to her, Thou knowest
that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel turned their face toward me for
a king; but the kingdom was turned from me and became my brother’s: for
it was appointed to him from the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And now I make one request of
thee, do not turn away thy face. And Bersabee said to him, Speak on.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he said to her, Speak, I pray
thee, to king Solomon, for he will not turn away his face from thee, and
let him give me Abisag the Somanite for a wife.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Bersabee said, Well; I will
speak for thee to the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Bersabee went in to king
Solomon to speak to him concerning Adonias; and the king rose up to meet
her, and kissed her, and sat on the throne, and a throne was set for the
mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And she said to him, I ask of
thee one little request; turn not away my face from thee. And the king
said to her, Ask, my mother, and I will not reject thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And she said, Let, I pray thee,
Abisag the Somanite be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And king Solomon answered and
said to his mother, And why hast thou asked Abisag for Adonias? ask for
him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother, and he has for his
companion Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Saruia the
commander-in-chief.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And king Solomon swore by the
Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if it be not that Adonias
has spoken this word against his own life.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And now as the Lord lives who has
established me, and set me on the throne of my father David, and he has
made me a house, as the Lord spoke, this day shall Adonias be put to
death.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) So king Solomon sent by the hand
of Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he slew him, and Adonias died in that
day.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) And the king said to Abiathar the
priest, Depart thou quickly to Anathoth to thy farm, for thou art worthy
of death this day; but I will not slay thee, because thou hast borne the
ark of the covenant of the Lord before my father, and because thou was
afflicted in all things wherein my father was afflicted.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Solomon removed Abiathar from
being a priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled,
which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Selom.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And the report came to Joab son
of Saruia; for Joab had turned after Adonias, and he went not after
Solomon: and Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold of
the horns of the altar.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And it was told Solomon, saying,
Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and lo! he has hold of the
horns of the altar. And king Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What ails
thee, that thou hast fled to the altar? and Joab said, Because I was
afraid of thee, and fled for refuge to the Lord. And Solomon sent Banaeas
son of Jodae, saying, Go and slay him, and bury him.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And Banaeas son of Jodae came to
Joab to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him, Thus says the king,
Come forth. And Joab said, I will not come forth, for I will die here.
And Banaeas son of Jodae returned and spoke to the king, saying, Thus has
Joab spoken, and thus has he answered me.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And the king said to him, Go, and
do to him as he has spoken, and kill him: and thou shalt bury him, and
thou shalt remove this day the blood which he shed without cause, from me
and from the house of my father.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And the Lord has returned upon
his own head the blood of his unrighteousness, inasmuch as he attacked
two men more righteous and better than himself, and slew them with the
sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, even Abenner the son
of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amessa the son of Jether the
commander-in-chief of Juda.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And their blood is returned upon
his head, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but to David, and his
seed, and his house, and his throne, may there be peace for ever from the
Lord.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) So Banaeas son of Jodae went up,
and attacked him, and slew him, and buried him in his house in the
wilderness.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And the king appointed Banaeas
son of Jodae in his place over the host; and the kingdom was established
in Jerusalem; and as for Sadoc the priest, the king appointed him to be
high priest in the room of Abiathar.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅a)
And Solomon son of David reigned over Israel and Juda in Jerusalem: and
the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and
largeness of heart, as the sand by the sea-shore.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅b)
And the wisdom of Solomon abounded exceedingly beyond the wisdom of all
the ancients, and beyond all the wise men of Egypt:
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅c)
and he took the daughter of Pharao, and brought her into the city of
David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the
Lord first, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. In seven years he made
and finished them.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅d)
And Solomon had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eight thousand
hewers of stone in the mountain:
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅e)
and Solomon made the sea, and the bases, and the great lavers, and the
pillars, and the fountain of the court, and the brazen sea-
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅f)
and he built the citadel as a defence above it, he made a breach in the
wall of the city of David: thus the daughter of Pharao went up out of the
city of David to her house which he built for her.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅g)
Then he built the citadel: and Solomon offered up three
whole-burnt-offerings in the year, and peace-offerings on the altar which
he built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord, and finished
the house.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅h)
And these are the chief persons who presided over the works of Solomon;
three thousand and six hundred masters of the people that wrought the
works.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅i)
And he burit Assur, and Magdo, and Gazer, and upper Baethoron, and
Ballath:
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅k)
only after he had built the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem
round about, afterwards he built these cities.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅l)
And when David was yet living, he charged Solomon, saying, Behold, there
is with thee Semei the son of Gera, of the seed of Benjamin out of
Chebron:
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅m)
he cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp;
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅n)
and he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord,
saying, He shall not be slain with the sword.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅o)
But now do not thou hold him guiltless, for thou art a man of
understanding, and thou wilt know what thou shalt do to him, and thou
shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And the king called Semei, and
said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou
shalt not go out thence any whither.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And it shall come to pass in the
day that thou shalt go forth and cross over the brook Kedron, know
assuredly that thou shalt certainly die: thy blood shall be upon thine
head. And the king caused him to swear in that day.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And Semei said to the king, Good
is the word that thou hast spoken, my lord O king: thus will thy servant
do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem three years.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And it came to pass after the
three years, that two servants of Semei ran away to Anchus son of Maacha
king of Geth: and it was told Semei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in
Geth.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And Semei rose up, and saddled
his ass, and went to Geth to Anchus to seek out his servants: and Semei
went, and brought his servants out of Geth.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And it was told Solomon, saying,
Semei is gone out of Jerusalem to Geth, and has brought back his
servants.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And the king sent and called
Semei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by the Lord, and testify to
thee, saying, In whatsoever day thou shalt go out of Jerusalem, and go to
the right or left, know certainly that thou shalt assuredly die?
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And why hast thou not kept the
oath of the Lord, and the commandment which I commanded thee?
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) And the king said to Semei, Thou
knowest all thy mischief which thy heart knows, which thou didst to David
my father: and the Lord has recompensed thy mischief on thine own head.
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(45) And king Solomon is blessed, and
the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅)
(46) And Solomon commanded Banaeas the
son of Jodae, and he went forth and slew him.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅a)
And king Solomon was very prudent and wise: and Juda and Israel were very
many, as the sand which is by the sea for multitude, eating, and
drinking, and rejoicing:
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅b)
and Solomon was chief in all the kingdoms, and they brought gifts, and
served Solomon all the days of his life.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅c)
And Solomon began to open the domains of Libanus,
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅d)
and he built Thermae in the wilderness.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅e)
And this was the daily provision of Solomon, thirty measures of fine
flour, and sixty measures of ground meal, ten choice calves, and twenty
oxen from the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides stags, and does, and
choice fed birds.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅f)
For he ruled in all the country on this side the river, from Raphi unto
Gaza, over all the kings on this side the river:
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅g)
and he was at peace on all sides round about; and Juda and Israel dwelt
safely, every one under his vine and under his fig tree, eating and
drinand feasting, from Dan even to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅h)
And these were the princes of Solomon; Azariu son of Sadoc the priest,
and Orniu son of Nathan chief of the officers, and he went to his house;
and Suba the scribe, and Basa son of Achithalam recorder, and Abi son of
Joab commander-in-chief, and Achire son of Edrai was over the levies, and
Banaeas son of Jodae over the household and over the brickwork, and
Cachur the son of Nathan was counsellor.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅i)
And Solomon had forty thousand brood mares for his chariots, and twelve
thousand horses.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅k)
And he reigned over all the kings from the river and to the land of the
Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt:
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅l)
so Solomon the son of David reigned over Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.

(1) And it came to pass when Solomon
had finished building the house of the Lord and his own house after
twenty years, then king Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel in
Sion, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of
David, this is Sion,

which the Lord had done to his servant David, and to Israel his people.

(3) And the Lord said to him, I have
heard the voice of thy prayer, and thy supplication which thou madest
before me: I have done for thee according to all thy prayer: I have
hallowed this house which thou hast built to put my name there for ever,
and mine eyes and my heart shall be there always.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And if thou wilt walk before me as
David thy father walked, in holiness of heart and uprightness, and so as
to do according to all that I commanded him, and shalt keep my ordinances
and my commandments:
(ⲉ̅)
(5) then will I establish the throne
of thy kingdom in Israel for ever, as I spoke to David thy father,
saying, There shall not fail thee a man to rule in Israel.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) But if ye or your children do in
any wise revolt from me, and do not keep my commandments and my
ordinances, which Moses set before you, and ye go and serve other gods,
and worship them:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) then will I cut off Israel from
the land which I have given them, and this house which I have consecrated
to my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a desolation
and a by-word to all nations.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And this house, which is high,
shall be so that every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall
hiss; and they shall say, Wherefore has the Lord done thus to this land,
and to this house?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And men shall say, Because they
forsook the Lord their God, who brought out their fathers from Egypt, out
of the house of bondage, and they attached themselves to strange gods,
and worshipped them, and served them: therefore the Lord has brought this
evil upon them. Then Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao out of the
city of David into his house which he built for himself in those days.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) During twenty years in which
Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the house
of the king,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Chiram king of Tyre helped
Solomon with cedar wood, and fir wood, and with gold, and all that he
wished for: then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of
Galilee.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So Chiram departed from Tyre, and
went into Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave to him; and they
pleased him not. And he said,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) What are these cities which thou
hast given me, brother? And he called them Boundary until this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Chiram brought to Solomon a
hundred and twenty talents of gold,
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) even that for which king Solomon
built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Ælath on the shore of the extremity of
the sea in the land of Edom.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Chiram sent in the ship
together with the servants of Solomon servants of his own, mariners to
row, men acquainted with the sea.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And they came to Sophira, and
took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought them to
king Solomon.

(1) And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite
of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God

(10) And he arose and went to Sarepta,
and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there
gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I
pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

(1) And one of the wives of the sons
of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead;
and thou knowest that thy servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is
come to take my two sons to be his servants.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Elisaie said, What shall I do
for thee? tell me what thou hast in the house. And she said, Thy servant
has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And he said to her, Go, borrow for
thyself vessels without of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow
not a few.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And thou shalt go in and shut the
door upon thee and upon thy sons, and thou shalt pour forth into these
vessels, and remove that which is filled.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And she departed from him, and
shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels
near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And she said to her sons, Bring me
yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the
oil stayed.
(ⲍ̅)

God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and thou shalt pay thy
debts, and thou and thy sons shall live of the remaining oil.

that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Now run to meet her, and thou
shalt say, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well
with the child? and she said, It is well.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And she came to Elisaie to the
mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her
away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul is much grieved in
her, and the Lord has hidden it from me, and has not told it me.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And she said, Did I ask a son of
my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird
up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go: if thou meet any
man, thou shalt not salute him, and if a man salute thee thou shalt not
answer him: and thou shalt lay my staff on the child’s face.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And the mother of the child said,
As the Lord lives and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And
Elisaie arose, and went after her.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And Giezi went on before her, and
laid his staff on the child’s face: but there was neither voice nor any
hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is
not awaked.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And Elisaie went into the house,
and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) And Elisaie went into the house,
and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And he went up, and lay upon the
child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and
his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of
the child grew warm.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And he returned, and walked up
and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child
seven times; and the child opened his eyes.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) And Elisaie cried out to Giezi,
and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him:
and Elisaie said, Take thy son.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) And the woman went in, and fell
at his feet, and did obeisance bowing to the ground; and she took her
son, and went out.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(38) And Elisaie returned to Galgala:
and a famine was in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before
him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil
pottage for the sons of the prophets.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(39) And he went out into the field to
gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild
gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the caldron of pottage, for
they knew them not.
(ⲙ̅)
(40) And he poured it out for the men
to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that
lo! they cried out, and said, There is death in the pot, O man of God.
And they could not eat.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(41) And he said, Take meal, and cast
it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the
people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing
in the pot.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(42) And there came a man over from
Baetharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes
of figs, of the first-fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let
them eat.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(43) And his servant said, Why should
I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let
them eat; for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat and leave.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(44) And they ate and left, according
to the word of the Lord.

(23) And Solomon sat upon the throne
of his father David, and was highly honoured; and all Israel obeyed him.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) The princes, and the mighty men,

(25) And the Lord magnified Solomon
over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as was not upon any king

(26) And David the son of Jessae
reigned over Israel forty years;

(28) And he died in a good old age,
full of days, in wealth, and glory: and Solomon his son reigned in his

David, the former and the latter, are written in the history of Samuel

Gad the seer,

power, and the times which went over him, and over Israel, and over all

So all the work which Solomon wrought for the house of the Lord was

said, Give thanks to the Lord, for it is good, for his mercy endures for

(6) And the priests were standing at
their watches, and the Levites with instruments of music of the Lord,
belonging to king David, to give thanks before the Lord, for his mercy
endures for ever, with the hymns of David, by their ministry: and the
priests were blowing the trumpets before them, and all Israel standing.

(7) And Solomon consecrated the middle
of the court that was in the house of the Lord: for he offered there the
whole-burnt-offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings, for the brazen
altar which Solomon had made was not sufficient to receive the
whole-burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.

with a glad heart because of the good deeds which the Lord had done to
David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

forsake my ordinances and my commandments, which I have set before you,
and go and serve other gods, and worship them;

land which I gave them; and this house which I have consecrated to my
name I will remove out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a
by-word among all nations.

(21) And as for this lofty house,
every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall say, Wherefore has
the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And men shall say, Because they
forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land
of Egypt, and they attached themselves to other gods, and worshipped
them, and served them: and therefore he has brought upon them all this
evil.

(ⲁ̅)
In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the great king, on the
first day of Nisan, Mardochaeus the son of Jarius, the son of Semeias,
the son of Cisaus, of the tribe of Benjamine,
(ⲃ̅)
a Jew dwelling in the city Susa, a great man, serving in the king's
palace, saw a vision.
(ⲅ̅)
Now he was of the captivity which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had
carried captive from Jerusalem, with Jachonias the king of Judea.
(ⲇ̅)
And this was his dream: Behold, voices and a noise, thunders and
earthquake, tumult upon the earth.
(ⲉ̅)
And, behold, two great serpents came forth, both ready for conflict, and
there came from them a great voice,
(ⲋ̅)
and by their voice every nation was prepared for battle, even to fight
against the nation of the just.
(ⲍ̅)
And, behold, a day of darkness and blackness, tribulation and anguish,
affection and tumult upon the earth.
(ⲏ̅)
And all the righteous nation was troubled, fearing their own afflictions;
and they prepared to die,
(ⲑ̅)
and cried to God: and from their cry there came as it were a great river
from a little fountain, even much water.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And light and the sun arose, and the lowly were exalted, and
devoured the honorable.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
And Mardochaeus who had seen this vision and what God desired to do,
having awoke, kept it in his heart, and desired by all means to interpret
it, even till night.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
And Mardochaeus rested quiet in the palace with Gabatha and Tharrha the
king's two chamberlains, eunuchs who guarded the palace.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
And he heard their reasoning and searched out their plans, and learnt
that they were preparing to lay hands on king Artaxerxes: and he informed
the king concerning them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
And the king examined the two chamberlains, and they confessed, and were
executed.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
And the king wrote these things for a memorial: also Mardochaeus wrote
concerning these matters.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
And the king commanded Mardochaeus to attend in the palace, and gave
gifts for this service.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
And Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugean was honourable in the sight of
the king, and he endeavored to hurt Mardochaeus and his people, because
of the two chamberlains of the king.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) And it came to pass after these
things in the days of Artaxerxes, — (this Artaxerxes ruled over a hundred
and twenty-seven provinces from India)—
(ⲃ̅)
(2) in those days, when king
Artaxerxes was on the throne in the city of Susa,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) in the third year of his reign, he
made a feast to his friends, and the other nations, and to the nobles of
the Persians and Medes, and the chief of the satraps.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And after this, after he had shewn
to them the wealth of his kingdom, and the abundant glory of his wealth
during a hundred and eighty days,
(ⲉ̅)
(5) when, I say, the days of the
marriage feast were completed, the king made a banquet to the nations who
were present in the city six days, in the court of the king’s house,
(ⲋ̅)
(6) which was adorned with hangings of
fine linen and flax on cords of fine linen and purple, fastened to golden
and silver studs, on pillars of Parian marble and stone: there were
golden and silver couches on a pavement of emerald stone, and of pearl,
and of Parian stone, and open-worked coverings variously flowered, having
roses worked round about;
(ⲍ̅)
(7) gold and silver cups, and a small
cup of carbuncle set out of the value of thirty thousand talents,
abundant and sweet wine, which the king himself drank.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And this banquet was not according
to the appointed law; but so the king would have it: and he charged the
stewards to perform his will and that of the company.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Also Astin the queen made a
banquet for the women in the palace where king Artaxerxes dwelt.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Now on the seventh day the king,
being merry, told Aman, and Bazan, and Tharrha, and Barazi, and
Zatholtha, and Abataza, and Tharaba, the seven chamberlains, servants of
king Artaxerxes,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) to bring in the queen to him, to
enthrone her, and crown her with the diadem, and to shew her to the
princes, and her beauty to the nations: for she was beautiful.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) But queen Astin hearkened not to
him to come with the chamberlains: so the king was grieved and angered.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And he said to his friends, Thus
hast Astin spoken: pronounce therefore upon this case law and judgment.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) So Arkesaeus, and Sarsathaeus,
and Malisear, the princes of the Persians and Medes, who were near the
king, who sat chief in rank by the king, drew near to him,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) and reported to him according to
the laws how it was proper to do to queen Astin, because she had not done
the things commanded of the king by the chamberlains.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And Muchaeus said to the king and
to the princes, Queen Astin has not wronged the king only, but also all
the king’s rulers and princes:
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) for he has told them the words of
the queen, and how she disobeyed the king. As then, said he, she refused
to obey king Artaxerxes,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) so this day shall the other
ladies of the chiefs of the Persians and Medes, having heard what she
said to the king, dare in the same way to dishonour their husbands.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) If then it seem good to the king,
let him make a royal decree, and let it be written according to the laws
of the Medes and Persians, and let him not alter it: and let not the
queen come in to him any more; and let the king give her royalty to a
woman better than she.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And let the law of the king which
he shall have made, be widely proclaimed, in his kingdom: and so shall
all the women give honour to their husbands, from the poor even to the
rich.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the saying pleased the king
and the princes; and the king did as Muchaeus had said,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) and sent into all his kingdom
through the several provinces, according to their language, in order that
men might be feared in their own houses.
2
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And after this the king’s anger
was pacified, and he no more mentioned Astin, bearing in mind what she
had said, and how he had condemned her.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Then the servants of the king
said, Let there be sought for the king chaste and beautiful young
virgins.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And let the king appoint local
governors in all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them select fair
and chaste young damsels and bring them to the city Susa, into the
women’s apartment, and let them be consigned to the king’s chamberlain,
the keeper of the women; and let things for purification and other
attendance be given to them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And let the woman who shall please
the king be queen instead of Astin. And the thing pleased the king; and
he did so.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Now there was a Jew in the city
Susa, and his name was Mardochaeus, the son of Jairus, the son of
Semeias, the son of Cisaeus, of the tribe of Benjamin;
(ⲋ̅)
(6) who had been brought a prisoner
from Jerusalem, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried into
captivity.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And he had a foster child,
daughter of Aminadab his father’s brother, and her name was Esther; and
when her parents were dead, he brought her up for a wife for himself: and
the damsel was beautiful.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And because the king’s ordinance
was published, many damsels were gathered to the city Susa under the hand
of Gai; and Esther was brought to Gai the keeper of the women.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And the damsel pleased him, and
she found favour in his sight; and he hasted to give her the things for
purification, and her portion, and the seven maidens appointed her out of
the palace: and he treated her and her maidens well in the women’s
apartment.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But Esther discovered not her
family nor her kindred: for Mardochaeus had charged her not to tell.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But Mardochaeus used to walk
every day by the women’s court, to see what would become of Esther.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Now this was the time for a
virgin to go into the king, when she should have fulfilled twelve months;
for so are the days of purification fulfilled, six months while they are
anointing themselves with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices and
women’s purifications.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And then the damsel goes in to
the king; and the officer to whomsoever he shall give the command, will
bring her to come in with him from the women’s apartment to the king’s
chamber.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) She enters in the evening, and in
the morning she departs to the second women’s apartment, where Gai the
king’s chamberlain is keeper of the women: and she goes not in to the
king again, unless she should be called by name.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And when the time. was fulfilled
for Esther the daughter of Aminadab the brother of Mardochaeus’ father to
go in to the king, she neglected nothing which the chamberlain, the
women’s keeper, commanded; for Esther found grace in the sight of all
that looked upon her.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) So Esther went in to king
Artaxerxes in the twelfth month, which is Adar, in the seventh year of
his reign.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the king loved Esther, and
she found favour beyond all the other virgins: and he put on her the
queen’s crown.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the king made a banquet for
all his friends and great men for seven days, and he highly celebrated
the marriage of Esther; and he made a release to those who were under his
dominion.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) But Mardochaeus served in the
palace.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Now Esther had not discovered her
kindred; for so Mardochaeus commanded her, to fear God, and perform his
commandments, as when she was with him: and Esther changed not her manner
of life.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And two chamberlains of the king,
the chiefs of the body-guard, were grieved, because Mardochaeus was
promoted; and they sought to kill king Artaxerxes.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the matter was discovered to
Mardochaeus, and he made it known to Esther, and she declared to the king
the matter of the conspiracy.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the king examined the two
chamberlains, and hanged them: and the king gave orders to make a note
for a memorial in the royal records of the good offices of Mardochaeus,
as a commendation.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And after this king Artaxerxes
highly honoured Aman son of Amadathes, the Bugaean, and exalted him, and
set his seat above all his friends.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And all in the palace did him
obeisance, for so the king had given orders to do: but Mardochaeus did
not do him obeisance.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And they in the king’s palace said
to Mardochaeus, Mardochaeus, why dost thou transgress the commands of the
king?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Thus they spoke daily to him, but
he hearkened not unto them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochaeus
resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochaeus had shewn to them that
he was a Jew.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And when Aman understood that
Mardochaeus did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,
(ⲋ̅)
(6) and took counsel to destroy
utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And he made a decree in the
twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly,
to slay in one day the race of Mardochaeus: and the lot fell on the
fourteenth day of the month which is Adar.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he spoke to king Artaxerxes,
saying, There is a nation scattered among the nations in all thy kingdom,
and their laws differ from those of all the other nations; and they
disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let
them alone.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) If it seem good to the king, let
him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king’s
treasury ten thousand talents of silver.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And the king took off his ring,
and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the king said to Aman, Keep
the silver, and treat the nation as thou wilt.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So the king’s recorders were
called in the first month, on the thirteenth day, and they wrote as Aman
commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India
even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the
rulers of the nations according to their several languages, in the name
of king Artaxerxes.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the message was sent by posts
throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the
Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder
their goods.
(B:ⲁ̅)
And the following is the copy of the letter; The great king Artaxerxes
writes thus to the rulers and inferior governors of a hundred and
twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia, who hold authority
under him.
(B:ⲃ̅)
Ruling over many nations and having obtained dominion over the whole
world, I was minded (not elated by the confidence of power, but ever
conducting myself with great moderation and gentleness) to make the lives
of my subjects continually tranquil, desiring both to maintain the
kingdom quiet and orderly to its utmost limits, and to restore the peace
desired by all men.
(B:ⲅ̅)
But when I had enquired of my counsellors how this should be brought to
pass. Aman, who excels in soundness of judgment among us, and has been
manifestly well inclined without wavering and with unshaken fidelity, and
had obtained the second post in the kingdom,
(B:ⲇ̅)
informed us that a certain ill-disposed people is mixed up with all the
tribes throughout the world, opposed in their law to every other nation,
and continually neglecting the commands of the king, so that the united
government blamelessly administered by us is not quietly established.
(B:ⲉ̅)
Having then conceived that this nation alone of all others is continually
set in opposition to every man, introducing as a change a foreign code of
laws, and injuriously plotting to accomplish the worst of evils against
our interests, and against the happy establishment of the monarchy;
(B:ⲋ̅)
we signified to you in the letter written by Aman, who is set over the
public affairs and is our second governor, to destroy them all utterly
with their wives and children by the swords of the enemies, without
pitying or sparing any, on the fourteenth day of the twelfth month Adar,
of the present year;
(B:ⲍ̅)
that the people aforetime and now ill-disposed to us having been
violently consigned to death in one day, may hereafter secure to us
continually a well constituted and quiet state of affairs.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And the copies of the letters
were published in every province; and an order was given to all the
nations to be ready against that day.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
( 15 ) And the business was hastened,
and that at Susa: and the king and Aman began to drink; but the city was
troubled.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) But Mardochaeus having perceived
what was done, rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, and sprinkled
dust upon himself; and having rushed forth through the open street of the
city, he cried with a loud voice, A nation that has done no wrong is
going to be destroyed.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he came to the king’s gate,
and stood; for it was not lawful for him to enter into the palace,
wearing sackcloth and ashes.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And in every province where the
letters were published, there was crying and lamentation and great
mourning on the part of the Jews: they spread for themselves sackcloth
and ashes.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And the queen’s maids and
chamberlains went in and told her: and when she had heard what was done,
she was disturbed; and she sent to clothe Mardochaeus, and take away his
sackcloth; but he consented not.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) So Esther called for her
chamberlain Achrathaeus, who waited upon her; and she sent to learn the
truth from Mardochaeus.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And Mardochaeus shewed him what
was done, and the promise which Aman had made the king of ten thousand
talents to be paid into the treasury, that he might destroy the Jews.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And he gave him the copy of the
writing that was published in Susa concerning their destruction, to shew
to Esther; and told him to charge her to go in and intreat the king, and
to beg him for the people, remembering, said he, the days of thy low
estate, how thou wert nursed by my hand: because Aman who holds the next
place to the king has spoken against us for death. Do thou call upon the
Lord, and speak to the king concerning us, to deliver us from death.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So Achrathaeus went in and told
her all these words.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And Esther said to Achrathaeus,
Go to Mardochaeus, and say,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) All the nations of the empire
know, that whoever, man or woman, shall go in to the king into the inner
court uncalled, that person cannot live: only to whomsoever the king
shall stretch out his golden sceptre, he shall live: and I have not been
called to go into the king, for these thirty days.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Achrathaeus reported to
Mardochaeus all the words of Esther.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Then Mardochaeus said to
Achrathaeus, Go, and say to her, Esther, say not to thyself that thou
alone wilt escape in the kingdom, more than all the other Jews.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For if thou shalt refuse to
hearken on this occasion, help and protection will be to the Jews from
another quarter; but thou and thy father’s house will perish: and who
knows, if thou hast been made queen for this very occasion?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Esther sent the man that came
to her to Mardochaeus, saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Go and assemble the Jews that are
in Susa, and fast ye for me, and eat not and drink not for three days,
night and day: and I also and my maidens will fast; and then I will go in
to the king contrary to the law, even if I must die.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) So Mardochaeus went and did all
that Esther commanded him.
C
(ⲁ̅)
[And he besought the Lord, making mention of all the works of the Lord;
(ⲃ̅)
and he said, Lord God, king ruling over all, for all things are in thy
power, and there is no one that shall oppose thee, in thy purpose to save
Israel. -
(ⲅ̅)
For thou hast made the heaven and the earth and every wonderful thing in
the world under heaven.
(ⲇ̅)
And thou art Lord of all, and there is no one who shall resist thee Lord.
(ⲉ̅)
Thou knowest all things: thou knowest, Lord, that it is not in insolence,
nor haughtiness, nor love of glory, that I have done this, to refuse
obeisance to the haughty Aman.
(ⲋ̅)
For I would gladly have kissed the soles of his feet for the safety of
Israel.
(ⲍ̅)
But I have done this, that I might not set the glory of man above the
glory of God: and I will not worship any one except thee, my Lord, and I
will not do these things in haughtiness.
(ⲏ̅)
And now, O Lord God, the King, the God of Abraam, spare thy people, for
our enemies are looking upon us to our destruction, and they have desired
to destroy thine ancient inheritance.
(ⲑ̅)
Do not overlook thy peculiar people, whom thou hast redeemed for thyself
out of the land of Egypt.
(ⲓ̅)
Hearken to my prayer, and be propitious to thine inheritance, and turn
our mourning into gladness, that we may live and sing praise to thy name,
O Lord; and do not utterly destroy the mouth of them that praise thee, O
Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
And all Israel cried with all their might, for death was before their
eyes.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
And queen Esther betook herself for refuge to the Lord, being taken as it
were in the agony of death.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
And having taken off her glorious apparel, she put on garments of
distress and mourning; and instead of grand perfumes she filled her head
with ashes and dung, and she greatly brought down her body, and she
filled every place of her glad adorning with the torn curls of her hair.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
And she besought the Lord God of Israel, and said, O my Lord, thou alone
art our king: help me who am destitute, and have no helper but thee,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
for my danger is near at hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
I have heard from my birth, in the tribe of my kindred that thou, Lord,
tookest Israel out of all the nations, and our fathers out of all their
kindred for a perpetual inheritance, and hast wrought for them all that
thou hast said.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
And now we have sinned before thee, and thou hast delivered us into the
hands of our enemies,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
because we honoured their gods: thou art righteous, O Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
But now they have not been contented with the bitterness of our slavery,
but have laid their hands on the hands of their idols,
(ⲕ̅)
in order to abolish the decree of thy mouth, and utterly to destroy thine
inheritances, and to stop the mouth of them that praise thee, and to
extinguish the glory of thine house and thine alter,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
and to open the mouth of the Gentiles to speak the praises of vanities,
and in order that a mortal king should be admired for ever.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
O Lord, do not resign thy scepter to them that are not, and let them not
laugh at our fall, but turn their counsel, against themselves, and make
an example of him who has begun to injure us.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
Remember us, O Lord, manifest thyself in the time of our affliction, and
encourage me, O King of gods, and ruler of all dominion.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
Put harmonious speech into my mouth before the lion, and turn his heart
to hate him that fights against us, to the utter destruction of him that
consent with him.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
But deliver us by thine hand, and help me who am destitute, and have none
but the, O Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
Thou knowest all things, and knowest that I hate the glory of
transgressors, and that I abhor the couch of the uncircumcised, and of
every stranger.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
Thou knowest my necessity, for I abhor the symbol of my proud station,
which is upon my head in the days of my splendour: I abhor it as a
menstruous cloth, and I wear it not in the days of my tranquility.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
And thy handmaid has not eaten at the table of Aman, and I have not
honoured the banquet of the king, neither have I drunk wine of libations.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
Neither has thy handmaid rejoiced since the day of my promotion until
now, except in thee, O Lord God of Abraam.
(ⲗ̅)
O god, who has power over all, hearken to the voice of the desperate, and
deliver us from the hand of them that devise mischief; and deliver me
from my fear.
D
(ⲁ̅)
(5:1) And it came to pass on the third
day, when she had ceased praying, that she put off her mean dress, and
put on her glorious apparel.
(ⲃ̅)
And being splendidly arrayed, and having called upon God the Overseer and
Preserver of all things, she took her two maids,
(ⲅ̅)
and she leaned upon one, as a delicate female,
(ⲇ̅)
and the other followed bearing her train.
(ⲉ̅)
And she was blooming in the perfection of her beauty; and her face was
cheerful, and it were benevolent, but her heart was straitened for fear.
(ⲋ̅)
And having passed through all the doors, she stood before the king: and
he was sitting upon his royal throne, and he had put on all his glorious
apparel, covered all over with gold and precious stones, and was very
terrible.
(ⲍ̅)
And having raised his face resplendent with glory, he looked with intense
anger: and the queen fell, and changed her colour as she fainted; and she
bowed herself upon the head of the maid that went before her.
(ⲏ̅)
But God changed the spirit of the king gentleness, and in intense feeling
he sprang from off his throne, and took her into his arms, until she
recovered: and he comforted her with peaceable words,
(ⲑ̅)
and said to her, What is the matter, Esther? I am thy brother; be of good
cheer,
(ⲓ̅)
thou shalt not die, for our command is openly declared to thee,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(5:2) And having raised the golden
sceptre he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her, and said, Speak to
me.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
And she said to him, I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my
heart was troubled for fear of thy glory;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
for thou, my lord, art to be wondered at, and thy face is full of grace.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
And while she was speaking, she fainted and fell.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
Then the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her.
5
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the king said, What wilt thou,
Esther? and what is thy request? ask even to the half of my kingdom, and
it shall be thine.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And Esther said, To-day is my
great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Aman come
to the feast which I will prepare this day.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the king said, Hasten Aman
hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the
feast of which Esther had spoken.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And at the banquet the king said
to Esther, What is thy request, queen Esther? speak, and thou shalt have
all that thou requirest.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And she said, My request and my
petition are:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) if I have found favour in the
sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the
feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So Aman went out from the king
very glad and merry: but when Aman saw Mardochaeus the Jew in the court,
he was greatly enraged.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And having gone into his own
house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And he shewed them his wealth,
and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused
him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Aman said, The queen has
called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited
to-morrow.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) But these things please me not,
while I see Mardochaeus the Jew in the court.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Zosara his wife and his
friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for thee of fifty
cubits, and in the morning do thou speak to the king, and let Mardochaeus
be hanged on the gallows: but do thou go in to the feast with the king,
and be merry. And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) But the Lord removed sleep from
the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the
registers of daily events, to read to him.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he found the records written
concerning Mardochaeus, how he had told the king concerning the two
chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay
hands on Artaxerxes.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the king said, What honour or
favour have we done to Mardochaeus? And the king’s servants said, Thou
hast not done anything to him.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And while the king was enquiring
about the kindness of Mardochaeus, behold, Aman was in the court. And the
king said, Who is in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the
king, that he should hang Mardochaeus on the gallows, which he had
prepared.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the king’s servants said,
Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the king said to Aman, What
shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within
himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) and he said to the king, As for
the man whom the king wishes to honour,
(ⲏ̅)
(8) let the king’s servants bring the
robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the
king rides,
(ⲑ̅)
(9) and let him give it to one of the
king’s noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and
let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the
city, saying, Thus shall it be done to every man whom the king honours.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Then the king said to Aman, Thou
hast well said: so do to Mardochaeus the Jew, who waits in the palace,
and let not a word of what thou hast spoken be neglected.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) So Aman took the robe and the
horse, and arrayed Mardochaeus, and mounted him on the horse, and went
through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be
to every man whom the king wishes to honour.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And Mardochaeus returned to the
palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Aman related the events that
had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to his friends: and his friends
and his wife said to him, If Mardochaeus be of the race of the Jews, and
thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and
thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God is with him.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) While they were yet speaking, the
chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had
prepared.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) So the king and Aman went in to
drink with the queen.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the king said to Esther at the
banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what is thy
request, and what is thy petition? and it shall be done for thee, to the
half of my kingdom.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And she answered and said, If I
have found favour in the sight of the king, let my life be granted to my
petition, and my people to my request.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For both I and my people are sold
for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; both we and our children for
bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the slanderer is
not worthy of the king’s palace.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the king said, Who is this
that has dared to do this thing?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And Esther said, the adversary is
Aman, this wicked man. Then Aman was troubled before the king and the
queen.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the king rose up from the
banquet to go into the garden: and Aman began to intreat the queen; for
he saw that he was in an evil case.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the king returned from the
garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the
king said, Wilt thou even force my wife in my house? And when Aman heard
it, he changed countenance.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And Bugathan, one of the
chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows
for Mardochaeus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty
cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said,
Let him be hanged thereon.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) So Aman was hanged on the gallows
that had been prepared for Mardochaeus: and then the king’s wrath was
appeased.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And in that day king Artaxerxes
gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochaeus
was called by the king; for Esther had shewn that he was related to her.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And the king took the ring which
he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochaeus: and Esther
appointed Mardochaeus over all that had been Aman’s.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And she spoke yet again to the
king, and fell at his feet, and besought him to do away the mischief of
Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Then the king stretched out to
Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And Esther said, If it seem good
to thee, and I have found favour in thy sight, let an order be sent that
the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the
destruction of the Jews, who are in thy kingdom.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For how shall I be able to look
upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the
destruction of my kindred?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the king said to Esther, If I
have given and freely granted thee all that was Aman’s, and hanged him on
a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what dost thou yet
further seek?
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Write ye also in my name, as it
seems good to you, and seal it with my ring: for whatever orders are
written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not
lawful to gainsay them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So the scribes were called in the
first-month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same
year; and orders were written to the Jews, whatever the king had
commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India
even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the
several provinces, according to their dialects.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And they were written by order of
the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the
posts:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) wherein he charged them to use
their own laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their
adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) on one day in all the kingdom of
Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is Adar.
(E:ⲁ̅)
And the following is the copy of the letter of the orders.
(E:ⲃ̅)
The great king Artaxerxes sends greetings to the rulers of provinces in a
hundred and twenty-seven satrapies, from India to Ethiopia, even to those
who are faithful to our interests.
(E:ⲅ̅)
Many who have been frequently honored by the most abundant kindness of
their benefactors have conceived ambitious designs, and not only
endeavour to hurt our subjects, but moreover, not being able to bear
prosperity, they also endeavour to plot against their own benefactors.
(E:ⲇ̅)
And they not only would utterly abolish gratitude from among men, but
also, elated by the boastings of men who are strangers to all that is
good, they supposed that they shall escape the sin-hating vengeance of
the ever-seeing God.
(E:ⲉ̅)
And oftentimes evil exhortation has made partakers of the guilt of
shedding innocent blood, and has involved in irremediable calamities,
many of those who had been appointed to offices of authority, who had
been entrusted with the management of their friends' affairs;
(E:ⲋ̅)
while men, by the false sophistry of an evil disposition, have deceived
the simple candour of the ruling powers.
(E:ⲍ̅)
And it is possible to see this, not so much from more ancient
traditionary accounts, as it is immediately in your power to see it by
examining what things have been wickedly perpetrated by the baseness of
men unworthily holding power.
(E:ⲏ̅)
And it is right to take heed with regard to the future, that we may
maintain the government in undistributed peace for all men,
(E:ⲑ̅)
adopting needful changes, and ever judging those cases which come under
our notices, with truly equitable decision.
(E:ⲓ̅)
For whereas Aman, a Macedonian, the son of Amadathes, in reality an alien
from the blood of the Persians, and differing widely from our mild course
of government,
(E:ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
having been hospitable entertained by us, obtained so large a share of
our universal kindness, as to be called our father, and to continue the
person next to the royal throne, reverenced of all;
(E:ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
he however, overcome by the pride of his station, endeavored to deprive
us of our dominion, and our life:
(E:ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
having by various and subtle artifices demanded for destruction both
Mardochaeus our deliverer and perpetual benefactor, and Esther the
blameless consort of our kingdom, with their whole nation.
(E:ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
For by these methods he thought, having surprised us in a defenceless
state, to transfer the dominion of the Persians to the Macedonians.
(E:ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
But we find that the Jews, who have been consigned to destruction by the
most abominable of men, are not malefactors, but living according to the
justest laws,
(E:ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
and being the sons of the living God, the most high and mighty, who
maintains the kingdom. to us as well as to our forefathers, in the most
excellent order.
(E:ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
Ye will therefore do well in refusing to obey the letter sent by Aman the
son of Amadathes,
(E:ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
because he that has done these things, has been hanged with his whole
family at the gates of Susa, Almighty God having swiftly returned to him
a worthy recompence,
(E:ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
We enjoin you then, having openly published a copy of this letter in
every place, to give the Jews permission to use their own lawful customs,
(E:ⲕ̅)
and to strengthen them, that on the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar,
on the self-same day, they may defend themselves against those who attack
them in a time of affliction.
(E:ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
For in the place of the destruction of the chosen race, Almighty God has
granted them this time of gladness.
(E:ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
Do ye therefore also, among your notable feasts, keep a distinct day with
all festivity,
(E:ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
that both now and hereafter it may be a day of deliverance to us and who
are well disposed toward the Persians, but to those that plotted against
us a memorial of destruction.
(E:ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
And every city and province collectively, which shall not do accordingly,
shall be consumed with vengeance by spear and fire: it shall be made not
only inaccessible to men, but most hateful to wild beasts and birds for
ever.]
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And let the copies be posted in
conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready
against this day, to fight against their enemies.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) So the horsemen went forth with
haste to perform the king’s commands; and the ordinance was also
published in Susa.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And Mardochaeus went forth robed
in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine
purple linen: and the people in Susa saw it and rejoiced.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the Jews had light and
gladness,
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) in every city and province
wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took
place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the
Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) For in the twelfth month, on the
thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the
king arrived.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) In that day the adversaries of the
Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For the chiefs of the satraps, and
the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of
Mardochaeus lay upon them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For the order of the king was in
force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And in the city Susa the Jews slew
five hundred men:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) both Pharsannes, and Delphon and
Phasga,
(ⲏ̅)
(8) and Pharadatha, and Barea, and
Sarbaca,
(ⲑ̅)
(9) and Marmasima, and Ruphaeus, and
Arsaeus, and Zabuthaeus,
(ⲓ̅)
(10) the ten sons of Aman the son of
Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered their
property on the same day:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) and the number of them that
perished in Susa was rendered to the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the king said to Esther, The
Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, thinkest
thou, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then dost thou
yet ask, that it may be done for thee?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And Esther said to the king, let
it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hand the ten
sons of Aman.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he permitted it to be so
done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of
Aman to hang.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And the Jews assembled in Susa on
the fourteenth day of Adar, and slew three hundred men, but plundered no
property.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And the rest of the Jews who were
in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from
their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the
thirteenth day of Adar, but took no spoil.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And they rested on the fourteenth
of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And the Jews in the city Susa
assembled also on the fourteenth day and rested; and they kept also the
fifteenth with joy and gladness.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) On this account then it is that
the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar as a
holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Mardochaeus wrote these
things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the
kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar
off,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) to establish these as joyful
days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) for on these days the Jews
obtained rest from their enemies; and as to the month, which was Adar, in
which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow
to a good day, to spend the whole of it in good days of feasting and
gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And the Jews consented to this
accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) shewing how Aman the son of
Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and
cast lots to destroy them utterly;
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) also how he went in to the king,
telling him to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring
upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Therefore these days were called
Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called
Phrurae;)because of the words of this letter, and because of all they
suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And Mardochaeus established it,
and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those
that were joined to them to observe it, neither would they on any account
behave differently: but these days were to be a memorial kept in every
generation, and city, and family, and province.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) And these days of the Phrurae,
said they,shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in
any generation.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) And queen Esther, the daughter of
Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the
confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
(ⲗ̅)
(31) And Mardochaeus and Esther the
queen appointed a fast for themselves privately, even at that time also
having formed their plan against their own health.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(32) And Esther established it by a
command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And the king levied a tax upon his
kingdom both by land and sea.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And as for his strength and
valour, and the wealth and glory of his kingdom, behold, they are written
in the book of the Persians and Medes, for a memorial.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Mardochaeus was viceroy to
king Artaxerxes, and was a great man in the kingdom, and honoured by the
Jews, and passed his life beloved of all his nation.
F
(ⲁ̅)
And Mardocheus said, These things have been done of God.
(ⲃ̅)
For I remember the dream which I had concerning these matters: for not
one particular of them has failed.
(ⲅ̅)
There was the little fountain which became a river, and there was light,
and the sun and much water. The river is Esther, whom the king married,
and made queen.
(ⲇ̅)
And the two serpents are I and Aman.
(ⲉ̅)
And the nations are those nations that combined to destroy the name of
the Jews.
(ⲋ̅)
But as for my nation, this is Israel, even they that cried to God and
were delivered: for the Lord delivered his people. And the Lord rescued
us out of all these calamities; and God wrought such signs and great
wonders as have not been done among the nations.
(ⲍ̅)
Therefore did he ordain two lots. One for the people of God, and one for
all the other nations.
(ⲏ̅)
And these two lots came for an appointed season, and for a day of
judgment, before God, and for all the nations.
(ⲑ̅)
And God remembered his people, and vindicated his inheritance.
(ⲓ̅)
And they shall observe these days in the month Adar, on the fourteenth
and on the fifteenth day of the month, with an assembly, and joy and
gladness before God, throughout the generations for ever among his people
Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
In the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemeus and Cleopatra, Dositheus,
who said he was a priest and Levite, and Ptolemeus his son, brought this
epistle of Phurim, which they said was the same, and that Lysimachus the
son of Ptolemeus, that was in Jerusalem, had interpreted it.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) In the twelfth year of the reign
of Nabuchodonosor, who reigned in Nineve, the great city; in the days of
Arphaxad, which reigned over the Medes in Ecbatane,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And built in Ecbatane walls round
about of stones hewn three cubits broad and six cubits long, and made the
height of the wall seventy cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And set the towers thereof upon
the gates of it an hundred cubits high, and the breadth thereof in the
foundation threescore cubits:
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And he made the gates thereof,
even gates that were raised to the height of seventy cubits, and the
breadth of them was forty cubits, for the going forth of his mighty
armies, and for the setting in array of his footmen:
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Even in those days king
Nabuchodonosor made war with king Arphaxad in the great plain, which is
the plain in the borders of Ragau.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And there came unto him all they
that dwelt in the hill country, and all that dwelt by Euphrates, and
Tigris and Hydaspes, and the plain of Arioch the king of the Elymeans,
and very many nations of the sons of Chelod, assembled themselves to the
battle.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Then Nabuchodonosor king of the
Assyrians sent unto all that dwelt in Persia, and to all that dwelt
westward, and to those that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Libanus,
and Antilibanus, and to all that dwelt upon the sea coast,
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And to those among the nations
that were of Carmel, and Galaad, and the higher Galilee, and the great
plain of Esdrelom,
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And to all that were in Samaria
and the cities thereof, and beyond Jordan unto Jerusalem, and Betane, and
Chelus, and Kades, and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes, and Ramesse, and
all the land of Gesem,
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Until ye come beyond Tanis and
Memphis, and to all the inhabitants of Egypt, until ye come to the
borders of Ethiopia.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But all the inhabitants of the
land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the
Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not
afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his
ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very
angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he
would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus,
and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of
the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that
were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Then he marched in battle array
with his power against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he
prevailed in his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and
all his horsemen, and all his chariots,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And became lord of his cities,
and came unto Ecbatane, and took the towers, and spoiled the streets
thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) He took also Arphaxad in the
mountains of Ragau, and smote him through with his darts, and destroyed
him utterly that day.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) So he returned afterward to
Nineve, both he and all his company of sundry nations being a very great
multitude of men of war, and there he took his ease, and banqueted, both
he and his army, an hundred and twenty days.
2
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And in the eighteenth year, the
two and twentieth day of the first month, there was talk in the house of
Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians that he should, as he said, avenge
himself on all the earth.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) So he called unto him all his
officers, and all his nobles, and communicated with them his secret
counsel, and concluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own
mouth.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Then they decreed to destroy all
flesh, that did not obey the commandment of his mouth.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And when he had ended his counsel,
Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain
of his army, which was next unto him, and said unto him.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Thus saith the great king, the
lord of the whole earth, Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence,
and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen an
hundred and twenty thousand; and the number of horses with their riders
twelve thousand.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And thou shalt go against all the
west country, because they disobeyed my commandment.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And thou shalt declare unto that
they prepare for me earth and water: for I will go forth in my wrath
against them and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of
mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) So that their slain shall fill
their valleys and brooks and the river shall be filled with their dead,
till it overflow:
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And I will lead them captives to
the utmost parts of all the earth.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Thou therefore shalt go forth.
and take beforehand for me all their coasts: and if they will yield
themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of
their punishment.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But concerning them that rebel,
let not thine eye spare them; but put them to the slaughter, and spoil
them wheresoever thou goest.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For as I live, and by the power
of my kingdom, whatsoever I have spoken, that will I do by mine hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And take thou heed that thou
transgress none of the commandments of thy lord, but accomplish them
fully, as I have commanded thee, and defer not to do them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Then Holofernes went forth from
the presence of his lord, and called all the governors and captains, and
the officers of the army of Assur;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And he mustered the chosen men
for the battle, as his lord had commanded him, unto an hundred and twenty
thousand, and twelve thousand archers on horseback;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And he ranged them, as a great
army is ordered for the war.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he took camels and asses for
their carriages, a very great number; and sheep and oxen and goats
without number for their provision:
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And plenty of victual for every
man of the army, and very much gold and silver out of the king’s house.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Then he went forth and all his
power to go before king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and to cover all
the face of the earth westward with their chariots, and horsemen, and
their chosen footmen.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) A great number also sundry
countries came with them like locusts, and like the sand of the earth:
for the multitude was without number.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And they went forth of Nineve
three days’ journey toward the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from
Bectileth near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper
Cilicia.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Then he took all his army, his
footmen, and horsemen and chariots, and went from thence into the hill
country;
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And destroyed Phud and Lud, and
spoiled all the children of Rasses, and the children of Israel, which
were toward the wilderness at the south of the land of the Chellians.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Then he went over Euphrates, and
went through Mesopotamia, and destroyed all the high cities that were
upon the river Arbonai, till ye come to the sea.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And he took the borders of
Cilicia, and killed all that resisted him, and came to the borders of
Japheth, which were toward the south, over against Arabia.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) He compassed also all the
children of Madian, and burned up their tabernacles, and spoiled their
sheepcotes.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) Then he went down into the plain
of Damascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields,
and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and
utterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the
edge of the sword.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Therefore the fear and dread of
him fell upon all the inhabitants of the sea coasts, which were in Sidon
and Tyrus, and them that dwelt in Sur and Ocina, and all that dwelt in
Jemnaan; and they that dwelt in Azotus and Ascalon feared him greatly.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) So they sent ambassadors unto him
to treat of peace, saying,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Behold, we the servants of
Nabuchodonosor the great king lie before thee; use us as shall be good in
thy sight.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Behold, our houses, and all our
places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the
lodges of our tents lie before thy face; use them as it pleaseth thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Behold, even our cities and the
inhabitants thereof are thy servants; come and deal with them as seemeth
good unto thee.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) So the men came to Holofernes, and
declared unto him after this manner.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Then came he down toward the sea
coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and
took out of them chosen men for aid.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) So they and all the country round
about received them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Yet he did cast down their
frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all
the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor
only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Also he came over against
Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And he pitched between Geba and
Scythopolis, and there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather
together all the carriages of his army.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now the children of Israel, that
dwelt in Judea, heard all that Holofernes the chief captain of
Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians had done to the nations, and after
what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Therefore they were exceedingly
afraid of him, and were troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple of the
Lord their God:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For they were newly returned from
the captivity, and all the people of Judea were lately gathered together:
and the vessels, and the altar, and the house, were sanctified after the
profanation.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Therefore they sent into all the
coasts of Samaria, and the villages and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and
Jericho, and to Choba, and Esora, and to the valley of Salem:
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And possessed themselves
beforehand of all the tops of the high mountains, and fortified the
villages that were in them, and laid up victuals for the provision of
war: for their fields were of late reaped.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Also Joacim the high priest, which
was in those days in Jerusalem, wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and
Betomestham, which is over against Esdraelon toward the open country,
near to Dothaim,
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Charging them to keep the passages
of the hill country: for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it
was easy to stop them that would come up, because the passage was
straight, for two men at the most.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the children of Israel did as
Joacim the high priest had commanded them, with the ancients of all the
people of Israel, which dwelt at Jerusalem.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Then every man of Israel cried to
God with great fervency, and with great vehemency did they humble their
souls:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Both they, and their wives and
their children, and their cattle, and every stranger and hireling, and
their servants bought with money, put sackcloth upon their loins.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Thus every man and women, and the
little children, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the
temple, and cast ashes upon their heads, and spread out their sackcloth
before the face of the Lord: also they put sackcloth about the altar,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And cried to the God of Israel
all with one consent earnestly, that he would not give their children for
a prey, and their wives for a spoil, and the cities of their inheritance
to destruction, and the sanctuary to profanation and reproach, and for
the nations to rejoice at.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) So God heard their prayers, and
looked upon their afflictions: for the people fasted many days in all
Judea and Jerusalem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And Joacim the high priest, and
all the priests that stood before the Lord, and they which ministered
unto the Lord, had their loins girt with sackcloth, and offered the daily
burnt offerings, with the vows and free gifts of the people,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And had ashes on their mitres,
and cried unto the Lord with all their power, that he would look upon all
the house of Israel graciously.
5
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then was it declared to
Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, that the children of
Israel had prepared for war, and had shut up the passages of the hill
country, and had fortified all the tops of the high hills and had laid
impediments in the champaign countries:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Wherewith he was very angry, and
called all the princes of Moab, and the captains of Ammon, and all the
governors of the sea coast,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And he said unto them, Tell me
now, ye sons of Chanaan, who this people is, that dwelleth in the hill
country, and what are the cities that they inhabit, and what is the
multitude of their army, and wherein is their power and strength, and
what king is set over them, or captain of their army;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And why have they determined not
to come and meet me, more than all the inhabitants of the west.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Then said Achior, the captain of
all the sons of Ammon, Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of thy
servant, and I will declare unto thee the truth concerning this people,
which dwelleth near thee, and inhabiteth the hill countries: and there
shall no lie come out of the mouth of thy servant.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) This people are descended of the
Chaldeans:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And they sojourned heretofore in
Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers,
which were in the land of Chaldea.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For they left the way of their
ancestors, and worshipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew: so
they cast them out from the face of their gods, and they fled into
Mesopotamia, and sojourned there many days.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Then their God commanded them to
depart from the place where they sojourned, and to go into the land of
Chanaan: where they dwelt, and were increased with gold and silver, and
with very much cattle.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But when a famine covered all the
land of Chanaan, they went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, while
they were nourished, and became there a great multitude, so that one
could not number their nation.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Therefore the king of Egypt rose
up against them, and dealt subtilly with them, and brought them low with
labouring in brick, and made them slaves.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Then they cried unto their God,
and he smote all the land of Egypt with incurable plagues: so the
Egyptians cast them out of their sight.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And God dried the Red sea before
them,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And brought them to mount Sina,
and Cades-Barne, and cast forth all that dwelt in the wilderness.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) So they dwelt in the land of the
Amorites, and they destroyed by their strength all them of Esebon, and
passing over Jordan they possessed all the hill country.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And they cast forth before them
the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, and the Sychemite, and all
the Gergesites, and they dwelt in that country many days.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And whilst they sinned not before
their God, they prospered, because the God that hateth iniquity was with
them.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) But when they departed from the
way which he appointed them, they were destroyed in many battles very
sore, and were led captives into a land that was not their’s, and the
temple of their God was cast to the ground, and their cities were taken
by the enemies.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) But now are they returned to
their God, and are come up from the places where they were scattered, and
have possessed Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and are seated in the
hill country; for it was desolate.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Now therefore, my lord and
governor, if there be any error against this people, and they sin against
their God, let us consider that this shall be their ruin, and let us go
up, and we shall overcome them.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) But if there be no iniquity in
their nation, let my lord now pass by, lest their Lord defend them, and
their God be for them, and we become a reproach before all the world.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And when Achior had finished
these sayings, all the people standing round about the tent murmured, and
the chief men of Holofernes, and all that dwelt by the sea side, and in
Moab, spake that he should kill him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For, say they, we will not be
afraid of the face of the children of Israel: for, lo, it is a people
that have no strength nor power for a strong battle
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Now therefore, lord Holofernes,
we will go up, and they shall be a prey to be devoured of all thine army.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when the tumult of men that
were about the council was ceased, Holofernes the chief captain of the
army of Assur said unto Achior and all the Moabites before all the
company of other nations,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And who art thou, Achior, and the
hirelings of Ephraim, that thou hast prophesied against us as to day, and
hast said, that we should not make war with the people of Israel, because
their God will defend them? and who is God but Nabuchodonosor?
(ⲅ̅)
(3) He will send his power, and will
destroy them from the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver
them: but we his servants will destroy them as one man; for they are not
able to sustain the power of our horses.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For with them we will tread them
under foot, and their mountains shall be drunken with their blood, and
their fields shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their footsteps
shall not be able to stand before us, for they shall utterly perish,
saith king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth: for he said, None of my
words shall be in vain.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And thou, Achior, an hireling of
Ammon, which hast spoken these words in the day of thine iniquity, shalt
see my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance of this nation
that came out of Egypt.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And then shall the sword of mine
army, and the multitude of them that serve me, pass through thy sides,
and thou shalt fall among their slain, when I return.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Now therefore my servants shall
bring thee back into the hill country, and shall set thee in one of the
cities of the passages:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And thou shalt not perish, till
thou be destroyed with them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And if thou persuade thyself in
thy mind that they shall be taken, let not thy countenance fall: I have
spoken it, and none of my words shall be in vain.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Then Holofernes commanded his
servants, that waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to
Bethulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) So his servants took him, and
brought him out of the camp into the plain, and they went from the midst
of the plain into the hill country, and came unto the fountains that were
under Bethulia.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And when the men of the city saw
them, they took up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of
the hill: and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up by
casting of stones against them.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Nevertheless having gotten
privily under the hill, they bound Achior, and cast him down, and left
him at the foot of the hill, and returned to their lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) But the Israelites descended from
their city, and came unto him, and loosed him, and brought him to
Bethulia, and presented him to the governors of the city:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Which were in those days Ozias
the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of
Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of Melchiel.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And they called together all the
ancients of the city, and all their youth ran together, and their women,
to the assembly, and they set Achior in the midst of all their people.
Then Ozias asked him of that which was done.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And he answered and declared unto
them the words of the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he
had spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever
Holofernes had spoken proudly against the house of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Then the people fell down and
worshipped God, and cried unto God. saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) O Lord God of heaven, behold
their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the
face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Then they comforted Achior, and
praised him greatly.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And Ozias took him out of the
assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called
on the God of Israel all that night for help.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) The next day Holofernes commanded
all his army, and all his people which were come to take his part, that
they should remove their camp against Bethulia, to take aforehand the
ascents of the hill country, and to make war against the children of
Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Then their strong men removed
their camps in that day, and the army of the men of war was an hundred
and seventy thousand footmen, and twelve thousand horsemen, beside the
baggage, and other men that were afoot among them, a very great
multitude.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And they camped in the valley near
unto Bethulia, by the fountain, and they spread themselves in breadth
over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in length from Bethulia unto Cynamon,
which is over against Esdraelon.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Now the children of Israel, when
they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one
to his neighbour, Now will these men lick up the face of the earth; for
neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to
bear their weight.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Then every man took up his weapons
of war, and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained
and watched all that night.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) But in the second day Holofernes
brought forth all his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel
which were in Bethulia,
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And viewed the passages up to the
city, and came to the fountains of their waters, and took them, and set
garrisons of men of war over them, and he himself removed toward his
people.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Then came unto him all the chief
of the children of Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and
the captains of the sea coast, and said,
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Let our lord now hear a word, that
there be not an overthrow in thine army.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For this people of the children
of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the
mountains wherein they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the
tops of their mountains.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Now therefore, my lord, fight not
against them in battle array, and there shall not so much as one man of
thy people perish.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Remain in thy camp, and keep all
the men of thine army, and let thy servants get into their hands the
fountain of water, which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For all the inhabitants of
Bethulia have their water thence; so shall thirst kill them, and they
shall give up their city, and we and our people shall go up to the tops
of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that
none go out of the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) So they and their wives and their
children shall be consumed with fire, and before the sword come against
them, they shall be overthrown in the streets where they dwell.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Thus shalt thou render them an
evil reward; because they rebelled, and met not thy person peaceably.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And these words pleased
Holofernes and all his servants, and he appointed to do as they had
spoken.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) So the camp of the children of
Ammon departed, and with them five thousand of the Assyrians, and they
pitched in the valley, and took the waters, and the fountains of the
waters of the children of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Then the children of Esau went up
with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill country over against
Dothaim: and they sent some of them toward the south, and toward the east
over against Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook
Mochmur; and the rest of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain,
and covered the face of the whole land; and their tents and carriages
were pitched to a very great multitude.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Then the children of Israel cried
unto the Lord their God, because their heart failed, for all their
enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape
out from among them.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Thus all the company of Assur
remained about them, both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four and
thirty days, so that all their vessels of water failed all the
inhibitants of Bethulia.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And the cisterns were emptied,
and they had not water to drink their fill for one day; for they gave
them drink by measure.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Therefore their young children
were out of heart, and their women and young men fainted for thirst, and
fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates,
and there was no longer any strength in them.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Then all the people assembled to
Ozias, and to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, and
children, and cried with a loud voice, and said before all the elders,
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) God be judge between us and you:
for ye have done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace of
the children of Assur.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) For now we have no helper: but
God hath sold us into their hands, that we should be thrown down before
them with thirst and great destruction.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Now therefore call them unto you,
and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and
to all his army.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For it is better for us to be
made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst: for we will be his
servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants
before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) We take to witness against you
the heaven and the earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which
punisheth us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers, that he
do not according as we have said this day.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) Then there was great weeping with
one consent in the midst of the assembly; and they cried unto the Lord
God with a loud voice.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) Then said Ozias to them,
Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which
space the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us; for he will not
forsake us utterly.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) And if these days pass, and there
come no help unto us, I will do according to your word.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) And he dispersed the people,
every one to their own charge; and they went unto the walls and towers of
their city, and sent the women and children into their houses: and they
were very low brought in the city.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now at that time Judith heard
thereof, which was the daughter of Merari, the son of Ox, the son of
Joseph, the son of Ozel, the son of Elcia, the son of Ananias, the son of
Gedeon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Acitho, the son of Eliu, the son
of Eliab, the son of Nathanael, the son of Samael, the son of Salasadal,
the son of Israel.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Manasses was her husband, of
her tribe and kindred, who died in the barley harvest.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For as he stood overseeing them
that bound sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell
on his bed, and died in the city of Bethulia: and they buried him with
his fathers in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) So Judith was a widow in her house
three years and four months.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And she made her a tent upon the
top of her house, and put on sackcloth upon her loins and ware her
widow’s apparel.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And she fasted all the days of her
widowhood, save the eves of the sabbaths, and the sabbaths, and the eves
of the new moons, and the new moons and the feasts and solemn days of the
house of Israel.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) She was also of a goodly
countenance, and very beautiful to behold: and her husband Manasses had
left her gold, and silver, and menservants and maidservants, and cattle,
and lands; and she remained upon them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And there was none that gave her
an ill word; ar she feared God greatly.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Now when she heard the evil words
of the people against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water;
for Judith had heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and
that he had sworn to deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days;
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Then she sent her waitingwoman,
that had the government of all things that she had, to call Ozias and
Chabris and Charmis, the ancients of the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And they came unto her, and she
said unto them, Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of
Bethulia: for your words that ye have spoken before the people this day
are not right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between
God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless
within these days the Lord turn to help you.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And now who are ye that have
tempted God this day, and stand instead of God among the children of men?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And now try the Lord Almighty,
but ye shall never know any thing.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For ye cannot find the depth of
the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh:
then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know
his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the
Lord our God to anger.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) For if he will not help us within
these five days, he hath power to defend us when he will, even every day,
or to destroy us before our enemies.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Do not bind the counsels of the
Lord our God: for God is not as man, that he may be threatened; neither
is he as the son of man, that he should be wavering.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Therefore let us wait for
salvation of him, and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our
voice, if it please him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For there arose none in our age,
neither is there any now in these days neither tribe, nor family, nor
people, nor city among us, which worship gods made with hands, as hath
been aforetime.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) For the which cause our fathers
were given to the sword, and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our
enemies.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) But we know none other god,
therefore we trust that he will not dispise us, nor any of our nation.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) For if we be taken so, all Judea
shall lie waste, and our sanctuary shall be spoiled; and he will require
the profanation thereof at our mouth.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And the slaughter of our
brethren, and the captivity of the country, and the desolation of our
inheritance, will he turn upon our heads among the Gentiles, wheresoever
we shall be in bondage; and we shall be an offence and a reproach to all
them that possess us.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For our servitude shall not be
directed to favour: but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Now therefore, O brethren, let us
shew an example to our brethren, because their hearts depend upon us, and
the sanctuary, and the house, and the altar, rest upon us.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Moreover let us give thanks to
the Lord our God, which trieth us, even as he did our fathers.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Remember what things he did to
Abraham, and how he tried Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in
Mesopotamia of Syria, when he kept the sheep of Laban his mother’s
brother.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For he hath not tried us in the
fire, as he did them, for the examination of their hearts, neither hath
he taken vengeance on us: but the Lord doth scourge them that come near
unto him, to admonish them.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Then said Ozias to her, All that
thou hast spoken hast thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none
that may gainsay thy words.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) For this is not the first day
wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all
the people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine
heart is good.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) But the people were very thirsty,
and compelled us to do unto them as we have spoken, and to bring an oath
upon ourselves, which we will not break.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) Therefore now pray thou for us,
because thou art a godly woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill
our cisterns, and we shall faint no more.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) Then said Judith unto them, Hear
me, and I will do a thing, which shall go throughout all generations to
the children of our nation.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) Ye shall stand this night in the
gate, and I will go forth with my waitingwoman: and within the days that
ye have promised to deliver the city to our enemies the Lord will visit
Israel by mine hand.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) But enquire not ye of mine act:
for I will not declare it unto you, till the things be finished that I
do.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) Then said Ozias and the princes
unto her, Go in peace, and the Lord God be before thee, to take vengeance
on our enemies.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) So they returned from the tent,
and went to their wards.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Judith fell upon her face, and put
ashes upon her head, and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith she was
clothed; and about the time that the incense of that evening was offered
in Jerusalem in the house of the Lord Judith cried with a loud voice, and
said,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) O Lord God of my father Simeon, to
whom thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened
the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her
shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It
shall not be so; and yet they did so:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Wherefore thou gavest their rulers
to be slain, so that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and
smotest the servants with their lords, and the lords upon their thrones;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And hast given their wives for a
prey, and their daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be
divided among thy dear children; which were moved with thy zeal, and
abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid: O
God, O my God, hear me also a widow.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For thou hast wrought not only
those things, but also the things which fell out before, and which ensued
after; thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which are to
come.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Yea, what things thou didst
determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here: for all thy ways
are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For, behold, the Assyrians are
multiplied in their power; they are exalted with horse and man; they
glory in the strength of their footmen; they trust in shield, and spear,
and bow, and sling; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest the
battles: the Lord is thy name.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Throw down their strength in thy
power, and bring down their force in thy wrath: for they have purposed to
defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious
name resteth and to cast down with sword the horn of thy altar.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Behold their pride, and send thy
wrath upon their heads: give into mine hand, which am a widow, the power
that I have conceived.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Smite by the deceit of my lips
the servant with the prince, and the prince with the servant: break down
their stateliness by the hand of a woman.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For thy power standeth not in
multitude nor thy might in strong men: for thou art a God of the
afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a
protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without hope.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) I pray thee, I pray thee, O God
of my father, and God of the inheritance of Israel, Lord of the heavens
and earth, Creator of the waters, king of every creature, hear thou my
prayer:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And make my speech and deceit to
be their wound and stripe, who have purposed cruel things against thy
covenant, and thy hallowed house, and against the top of Sion, and
against the house of the possession of thy children.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And make every nation and tribe
to acknowledge that thou art the God of all power and might, and that
there is none other that protecteth the people of Israel but thou.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now after that she had ceased to
cry unto the God of Israel, and bad made an end of all these words.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) She rose where she had fallen
down, and called her maid, and went down into the house in the which she
abode in the sabbath days, and in her feast days,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And pulled off the sackcloth which
she had on, and put off the garments of her widowhood, and washed her
body all over with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment,
and braided the hair of her head, and put on a tire upon it, and put on
her garments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the life of
Manasses her husband.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And she took sandals upon her
feet, and put about her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and
her earrings, and all her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, to
allure the eyes of all men that should see her.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Then she gave her maid a bottle of
wine, and a cruse of oil, and filled a bag with parched corn, and lumps
of figs, and with fine bread; so she folded all these things together,
and laid them upon her.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Thus they went forth to the gate
of the city of Bethulia, and found standing there Ozias and the ancients
of the city, Chabris and Charmis.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And when they saw her, that her
countenance was altered, and her apparel was changed, they wondered at
her beauty very greatly, and said unto her.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The God, the God of our fathers
give thee favour, and accomplish thine enterprizes to the glory of the
children of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then they
worshipped God.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And she said unto them, Command
the gates of the city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to
accomplish the things whereof ye have spoken with me. So they commanded
the young men to open unto her, as she had spoken.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And when they had done so, Judith
went out, she, and her maid with her; and the men of the city looked
after her, until she was gone down the mountain, and till she had passed
the valley, and could see her no more.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Thus they went straight forth in
the valley: and the first watch of the Assyrians met her,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And took her, and asked her, Of
what people art thou? and whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And
she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them: for they
shall be given you to be consumed:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And I am coming before Holofernes
the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth; and I will
shew him a way, whereby he shall go, and win all the hill country,
without losing the body or life of any one of his men.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Now when the men heard her words,
and beheld her countenance, they wondered greatly at her beauty, and said
unto her,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Thou hast saved thy life, in that
thou hast hasted to come down to the presence of our lord: now therefore
come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until they have
delivered thee to his hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And when thou standest before
him, be not afraid in thine heart, but shew unto him according to thy
word; and he will entreat thee well.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Then they chose out of them an
hundred men to accompany her and her maid; and they brought her to the
tent of Holofernes.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Then was there a concourse
throughout all the camp: for her coming was noised among the tents, and
they came about her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till
they told him of her.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And they wondered at her beauty,
and admired the children of Israel because of her, and every one said to
his neighbour, Who would despise this people, that have among them such
women? surely it is not good that one man of them be left who being let
go might deceive the whole earth.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And they that lay near Holofernes
went out, and all his servants and they brought her into the tent.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Now Holofernes rested upon his
bed under a canopy, which was woven with purple, and gold, and emeralds,
and precious stones.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) So they shewed him of her; and he
came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And when Judith was come before
him and his servants they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance;
and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him: and his
servants took her up.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then said Holofernes unto her,
Woman, be of good comfort, fear not in thine heart: for I never hurt any
that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Now therefore, if thy people that
dwelleth in the mountains had not set light by me, I would not have
lifted up my spear against them: but they have done these things to
themselves.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But now tell me wherefore thou art
fled from them, and art come unto us: for thou art come for safeguard; be
of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter:
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For none shall hurt thee, but
entreat thee well, as they do the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my
lord.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Then Judith said unto him, Receive
the words of thy servant, and suffer thine handmaid to speak in thy
presence, and I will declare no lie to my lord this night.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And if thou wilt follow the words
of thine handmaid, God will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee;
and my lord shall not fail of his purposes.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) As Nabuchodonosor king of all the
earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the
upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by
thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of
the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For we have heard of thy wisdom
and thy policies, and it is reported in all the earth, that thou only art
excellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in
feats of war.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Now as concerning the matter,
which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the
men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had
spoken unto thee.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Therefore, O lord and governor,
reject not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for
our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them,
except they sin against their God.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And now, that my lord be not
defeated and frustrate of his purpose, even death is now fallen upon
them, and their sin hath overtaken them, wherewith they will provoke
their God to anger whensoever they shall do that which is not fit to be
done:
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For their victuals fail them, and
all their water is scant, and they have determined to lay hands upon
their cattle, and purposed to consume all those things, that God hath
forbidden them to eat by his laws:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And are resolved to spend the
firstfruits of the the tenths of wine and oil, which they had sanctified,
and reserved for the priests that serve in Jerusalem before the face of
our God; the which things it is not lawful for any of the people so much
as to touch with their hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For they have sent some to
Jerusalem, because they also that dwell there have done the like, to
bring them a licence from the senate.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Now when they shall bring them
word, they will forthwith do it, and they shall be given to thee to be
destroyed the same day.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Wherefore I thine handmaid,
knowing all this, am fled from their presence; and God hath sent me to
work things with thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and
whosoever shall hear it.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For thy servant is religious, and
serveth the God of heaven day and night: now therefore, my lord, I will
remain with thee, and thy servant will go out by night into the valley,
and I will pray unto God, and he will tell me when they have committed
their sins:
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And I will come and shew it unto
thee: then thou shalt go forth with all thine army, and there shall be
none of them that shall resist thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And I will lead thee through the
midst of Judea, until thou come before Jerusalem; and I will set thy
throne in the midst thereof; and thou shalt drive them as sheep that have
no shepherd, and a dog shall not so much as open his mouth at thee: for
these things were told me according to my foreknowledge, and they were
declared unto me, and I am sent to tell thee.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Then her words pleased Holofernes
and all his servants; and they marvelled at her wisdom, and said,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) There is not such a woman from
one end of the earth to the other, both for beauty of face, and wisdom of
words.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Likewise Holofernes said unto
her. God hath done well to send thee before the people, that strength
might be in our hands and destruction upon them that lightly regard my
lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) And now thou art both beautiful
in thy countenance, and witty in thy words: surely if thou do as thou
hast spoken thy God shall be my God, and thou shalt dwell in the house of
king Nabuchodonosor, and shalt be renowned through the whole earth.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then he commanded to bring her in
where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his
own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Judith said, I will not eat
thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of
the things that I have brought.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Then Holofernes said unto her, If
thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be
none with us of thy nation.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Then said Judith unto him As thy
soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I
have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath
determined.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Then the servants of Holofernes
brought her into the tent, and she slept till midnight, and she arose
when it was toward the morning watch,
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And sent to Holofernes, saving,
Let my lord now command that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Then Holofernes commanded his
guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three
days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed
herself in a fountain of water by the camp.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And when she came out, she
besought the Lord God of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of
the children of her people.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So she came in clean, and remained
in the tent, until she did eat her meat at evening.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And in the fourth day Holofernes
made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to
the banquet.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Then said he to Bagoas the
eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this
Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink
with us.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For, lo, it will be a shame for
our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company;
for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Then went Bagoas from the
presence of Holofernes, and came to her, and he said, Let not this fair
damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and
drink wine, and be merry with us and be made this day as one of the
daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Then said Judith unto him, Who am
I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I
will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) So she arose, and decked herself
with her apparel and all her woman’s attire, and her maid went and laid
soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had
received of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon
them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Now when Judith came in and sat
down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved,
and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her,
from the day that he had seen her.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Then said Holofernes unto her,
Drink now, and be merry with us.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) So Judith said, I will drink now,
my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the
days since I was born.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Then she took and ate and drank
before him what her maid had prepared.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And Holofernes took great delight
in her, and drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day
since he was born.
13
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now when the evening was come, his
servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and
dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to
their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Judith was left along in the
tent, and Holofernes lying along upon his bed: for he was filled with
wine.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Now Judith had commanded her maid
to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her. coming forth, as
she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she
spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) So all went forth and none was
left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing
by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this
present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For now is the time to help thine
inheritance, and to execute thine enterprizes to the destruction of the
enemies which are risen against us.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Then she came to the pillar of the
bed, which was at Holofernes’ head, and took down his fauchion from
thence,
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And approached to his bed, and
took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of
Israel, this day.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And she smote twice upon his neck
with all her might, and she took away his head from him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And tumbled his body down from the
bed, and pulled down the canopy from the pillars; and anon after she went
forth, and gave Holofernes his head to her maid;
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And she put it in her bag of
meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer:
and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the
mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Then said Judith afar off, to the
watchmen at the gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with
us, to shew his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against the enemy,
as he hath even done this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Now when the men of her city
heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city,
and they called the elders of the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And then they ran all together,
both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so
they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and
stood round about them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Then she said to them with a loud
voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away
his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by
mine hands this night.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) So she took the head out of the
bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes,
the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he
did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of
a woman.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) As the Lord liveth, who hath kept
me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his
destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and
shame me.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Then all the people were
wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said
with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought
to nought the enemies of thy people.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Then said Ozias unto her, O
daughter, blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon
the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens
and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of
the chief of our enemies.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) For this thy confidence shall not
depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And God turn these things to thee
for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast
not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged
our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said;
So be it, so be it.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then said Judith unto them, Hear
me now, my brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the highest
place of your walls.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And so soon as the morning shall
appear, and the sun shall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one
his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a
captain over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the
watch of the Assyrians; but go not down.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Then they shall take their armour,
and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of
Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him:
then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) So ye, and all that inhabit the
coast of Israel, shall pursue them, and overthrow them as they go.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) But before ye do these things,
call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised
the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Then they called Achior out of the
house of Ozias; and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a
man’s hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his face, and
his spirit failed.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) But when they had recovered him,
he fell at Judith’s feet, and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou
in all the tabernacles of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy
name shall be astonished.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Now therefore tell me all the
things that thou hast done in these days. Then Judith declared unto him
in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she
went forth until that hour she spake unto them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And when she had left off
speaking, the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise
in their city.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And when Achior had seen all that
the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised
the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto
this day.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And as soon as the morning arose,
they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his
weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) But when the Assyrians saw them,
they sent to their leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes,
and to every one of their rulers.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) So they came to Holofernes’ tent,
and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our
lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle,
that they may be utterly destroyed.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Then went in Bagoas, and knocked
at the door of the tent; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) But because none answered, he
opened it, and went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the
floor dead, and his head was taken from him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Therefore he cried with a loud
voice, with weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his
garments.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) After he went into the tent where
Judith lodged: and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people,
and cried,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) These slaves have dealt
treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house
of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground
without a head.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) When the captains of the
Assyrians army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds
were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise
throughout the camp.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when they that were in the
tents heard, they were astonished at the thing that was done.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And fear and trembling fell upon
them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his
neighbour, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the
plain, and of the hill country.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) They also that had camped in the
mountains round about Bethulia fled away. Then the children of Israel,
every one that was a warrior among them, rushed out upon them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem,
and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such
as should tell the things that were done, and that all should rush forth
upon their enemies to destroy them.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Now when the children of Israel
heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto
Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the
hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of
their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them
with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders
thereof.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And the residue that dwelt at
Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly
enriched.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And the children of Israel that
returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and
the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils:
for the multitude was very great.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Then Joacim the high priest, and
the ancients of the children of Israel that dwelt in Jerusalem, came to
behold the good things that God had shewed to Israel, and to see Judith,
and to salute her.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And when they came unto her, they
blessed her with one accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation
of Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great
rejoicing of our nation:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Thou hast done all these things
by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased
therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the
people said, So be it.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And the people spoiled the camp
the space of thirty days: and they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent,
and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took
it and laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them
thereon.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Then all the women of Israel ran
together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for
her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that
were with her.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And they put a garland of olive
upon her and her maid that was with her, and she went before all the
people in the dance, leading all the women: and all the men of Israel
followed in their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(16:1) Then Judith began to sing this
thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song
of praise.
16
(ⲁ̅)
(2) And Judith said, Begin unto my God
with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm:
exalt him, and call upon his name.
(ⲃ̅)
(3) For God breaketh the battles: for
among the camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of
the hands of them that persecuted me.
(ⲅ̅)
(4) Assur came out of the mountains
from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, the multitude
whereof stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills.
(ⲇ̅)
(5) He bragged that he would burn up
my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the sucking
children against the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, and my
virgins as a spoil.
(ⲉ̅)
(6) But the Almighty Lord hath
disappointed them by the hand of a woman.
(ⲋ̅)
(7) For the mighty one did not fall by
the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high
giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with
the beauty of her countenance.
(ⲍ̅)
(8) For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of
those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment,
(ⲏ̅)
and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Her sandals ravished his eyes, her
beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) The Persians quaked at her
boldness, and the Medes were daunted at her hardiness.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Then my afflicted shouted for
joy, and my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: these lifted
up their voices, but they were overthrown.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) The sons of the damsels have
pierced them through, and wounded them as fugatives’ children: they
perished by the battle of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) I will sing unto the Lord a new
song: O Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and
invincible.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Let all creatures serve thee: for
thou spakest, and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and
it created them, and there is none that can resist thy voice.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) For the mountains shall be moved
from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at
thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For all sacrifice is too little
for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy
burnt offering: but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Woe to the nations that rise up
against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the
day of judgment, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall
feel them, and weep for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Now as soon as they entered into
Jerusalem, they worshipped the Lord; and as soon as the people were
purified, they offered their burnt offerings, and their free offerings,
and their gifts.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Judith also dedicated all the
stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy,
which she had taken out of his bedchamber, for a gift unto the Lord.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) So the people continued feasting
in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months and
Judith remained with them.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) After this time every one
returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and
remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the
country.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And many desired her, but none
knew her all the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband was
dead, and was gathered to his people.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) But she increased more and more
in honour, and waxed old in her husband’s house, being an hundred and
five years old, and made her maid free; so she died in Bethulia: and they
buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) And the house of Israel lamented
her seven days: and before she died, she did distribute her goods to all
them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them
that were the nearest of her kindred.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) And there was none that made the
children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time
after her death.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) The book of the words of Tobit,
son of Tobiel, the son of Ananiel, the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael,
of the seed of Asael, of the tribe of Nephthali;
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Who in the time of Enemessar king
of the Assyrians was led captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right
hand of that city, which is called properly Nephthali in Galilee above
Aser.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) I Tobit have walked all the days
of my life in the ways of truth and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to
my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into the land of
the Assyrians.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And when I was in mine own
country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of
Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen
out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice
there, where the temple of the habitation of the most High was
consecrated and built for all ages.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Now all the tribes which together
revolted, and the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto the
heifer Baal.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) But I alone went often to
Jerusalem at the feasts, as it was ordained unto all the people of Israel
by an everlasting decree, having the firstfruits and tenths of increase,
with that which was first shorn; and them gave I at the altar to the
priests the children of Aaron.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) The first tenth part of all
increase I gave to the sons of Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem:
another tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it every year at
Jerusalem:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And the third I gave unto them to
whom it was meet, as Debora my father’s mother had commanded me, because
I was left an orphan by my father.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Furthermore, when I was come to
the age of a man, I married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat
Tobias.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And when we were carried away
captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did
eat of the bread of the Gentiles.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But I kept myself from eating;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Because I remembered God with all
my heart.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the most High gave me grace
and favour before Enemessar, so that I was his purveyor.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And I went into Media, and left
in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media
ten talents of silver.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Now when Enemessar was dead,
Sennacherib his son reigned in his stead; whose estate was troubled, that
I could not go into Media.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And in the time of Enemessar I
gave many alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry,
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And my clothes to the naked: and
if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I
buried him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And if the king Sennacherib had
slain any, when he was come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily;
for in his wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they
were sought for of the king.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And when one of the Ninevites
went and complained of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid
myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I
withdrew myself for fear.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Then all my goods were forcibly
taken away, neither was there any thing left me, beside my wife Anna and
my son Tobias.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And there passed not five and
fifty days, before two of his sons killed him, and they fled into the
mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead; who
appointed over his father’s accounts, and over all his affairs,
Achiacharus my brother Anael’s son.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And Achiacharus intreating for
me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of
the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts: and Sarchedonus
appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother’s son.
2
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now when I was come home again,
and my wife Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast
of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a
good dinner prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And when I saw abundance of meat,
I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man soever thou shalt find out
of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and, lo, I tarry for thee.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But he came again, and said,
Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the
marketplace.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Then before I had tasted of any
meat, I started up, and took him up into a room until the going down of
the sun.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Then I returned, and washed
myself, and ate my meat in heaviness,
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Remembering that prophecy of Amos,
as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth
into lamentation.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Therefore I wept: and after the
going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) But my neighbours mocked me, and
said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who
fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The same night also I returned
from the burial, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted
and my face was uncovered:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And I knew not that there were
sparrows in the wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm
dung into mine eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes: and I went to the
physicians, but they helped me not: moreover Achiacharus did nourish me,
until I went into Elymais.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And my wife Anna did take women’s
works to do.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And when she had sent them home
to the owners, they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And when it was in my house, and
began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen?
render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is
stolen.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) But she replied upon me, It was
given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but
bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she
replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold,
thou and all thy works are known.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then I being grieved did weep, and
in my sorrow prayed, saying,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) O Lord, thou art just, and all thy
works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and
justly for ever.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Remember me, and look on me,
punish me not for my sins and ignorances, and the sins of my fathers, who
have sinned before thee:
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For they obeyed not thy
commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto
captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the
nations among whom we are dispersed.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And now thy judgments are many and
true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers’: because we have
not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Now therefore deal with me as
seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I
may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die
rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much
sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this
distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from
me.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) It came to pass the same day, that
in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also
reproached by her father’s maids;
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Because that she had been married
to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they
had lain with her. Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast
strangled thine husbands? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither
wast thou named after any of them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Wherefore dost thou beat us for
them? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee
either son or daughter.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) When she heard these things, she
was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and
she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall
be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto
the grave.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Then she prayed toward the
window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and
glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works
praise thee for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And now, O Lord, I set I mine
eyes and my face toward thee,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And say, Take me out of the
earth, that I may hear no more the reproach.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Thou knowest, Lord, that I am
pure from all sin with man,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And that I never polluted my
name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the
only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir,
neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep
myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I
live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to
be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) So the prayers of them both were
heard before the majesty of the great God.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And Raphael was sent to heal them
both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit’s eyes, and to give
Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to
bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of
inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his
house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) In that day Tobit remembered the
money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And said with himself, I have
wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias that I may
signify to him of the money before I die?
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And when he had called him, he
said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but
honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her,
and grieve her not.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Remember, my son, that she saw
many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead,
bury her by me in one grave.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) My son, be mindful of the Lord our
God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress
his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways
of unrighteousness.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For if thou deal truly, thy doings
shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Give alms of thy substance; and
when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy
face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from
thee.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) If thou hast abundance give alms
accordingly: if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according
to that little:
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For thou layest up a good treasure
for thyself against the day of necessity.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Because that alms do deliver from
death, and suffereth not to come into darkness.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For alms is a good gift unto all
that give it in the sight of the most High.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Beware of all whoredom, my son,
and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a
strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father’s tribe: for we are the
children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my
son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married
wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their
seed shall inherit the land.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Now therefore, my son, love thy
brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and
daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is
destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want:
for lewdness is the mother of famine.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Let not the wages of any man,
which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of
hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my
son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Do that to no man which thou
hatest: drink not wine to make thee drunken: neither let drunkenness go
with thee in thy journey.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Give of thy bread to the hungry,
and of thy garments to them that are naked; and according to thine
abundance give alms: and let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest
alms.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Pour out thy bread on the burial
of the just, but give nothing to the wicked.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Ask counsel of all that are wise,
and despise not any counsel that is profitable.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Bless the Lord thy God alway, and
desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and
counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord
himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will;
now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put
out of thy mind.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And now I signify this to they
that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in
Media.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And fear not, my son, that we are
made poor: for thou hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from
all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.
5
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Tobias then answered and said,
Father, I will do all things which thou hast commanded me:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) But how can I receive the money,
seeing I know him not?
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Then he gave him the handwriting,
and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet
live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Therefore when he went to seek a
man, he found Raphael that was an angel.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) But he knew not; and he said unto
him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) To whom the angel said, I will go
with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother
Gabael.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry
for me, till I tell my father.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Then he said unto him, Go and
tarry not.
(ⲑ̅)
So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will
go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe
he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) So he called him, and he came in,
and they saluted one another.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) Then Tobit said unto him,
Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) To whom he said, Dost thou seek
for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit
said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) Then he said, I am Azarias, the
son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) Then Tobit said, Thou art
welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to
know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and
good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias,
as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn,
and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of
our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) But tell me, what wages shall I
give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own
son?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) Yea, moreover, if ye return safe,
I will add something to thy wages.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) So they were well pleased. Then
said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a
good journey. And when his son had prepared all things far the journey,
his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in
heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So
they went forth both, and the young man’s dog with them.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) But Anna his mother wept, and
said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of
our hand, in going in and out before us?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) Be not greedy to add money to
money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) For that which the Lord hath
given us to live with doth suffice us.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) Then said Tobit to her, Take no
care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) For the good angel will keep him
company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) Then she made an end of weeping.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And as they went on their journey,
they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And when the young man went down
to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured
him.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Then the angel said unto him, Take
the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) To whom the angel said, Open the
fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up
safely.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) So the young man did as the angel
commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish,
(ⲋ̅)
they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to
Ecbatane.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) Then the young man said to the
angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the
gal of the fish?
(ⲏ̅)
(7) And he said unto him, Touching the
heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must
make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be
no more vexed.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) As for the gall, it is good to
anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) And when they were come near to
Rages,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) The angel said to the young man,
Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also
hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be
given thee for a wife. (11) For to
thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her
kindred.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And the maid is fair and wise:
now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return
from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot
marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be
guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain
to thee than to any other.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Then the young man answered the
angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to
seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And now I am the only son of my
father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other
before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those
which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my
father’s and my mother’s life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for
they have no other son to bury them.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Then the angel said unto him,
Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou
shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my
brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning
of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in
marriage.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And when thou shalt come into the
marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay
upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke
with it:
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the devil shall smell it, and
flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to
her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will
have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee
from the beginning;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I
suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard
these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when they were come to
Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after
they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Then said Raguel to Edna his wife,
How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And Raguel asked them, From whence
are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim,
which are captives in Nineve.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Then he said to them, Do ye know
Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in
good health?
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And they said, He is both alive,
and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed
him, and wept,
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And blessed him, and said unto
him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard
that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And likewise Edna his wife and
Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and
after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on
the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those
things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be
dispatched.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So he communicated the matter with
Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For it is meet that thou
shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the
truth.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) I have given my daughter in
marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her:
nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat
nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Raguel said, Then take her from
henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is
thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Then he called his daughter Sara,
and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to
be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and
lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And called Edna his wife, and
took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Then they began to eat.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) After Raguel called his wife
Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her
in thither.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Which when she had done as he had
bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the
tears of her daughter, and said unto her,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Be of good comfort, my daughter;
the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of
good comfort, my daughter.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And when they had supped, they
brought Tobias in unto her.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And as he went, he remembered the
words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart
and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The which smell when the evil
spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel
bound him.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And after that they were both shut
in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let
us pray that God would have pity on us.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Then began Tobias to say, Blessed
art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name
for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Thou madest Adam, and gavest him
Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast
said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an
aid like unto himself.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And now, O Lord, I take not this
my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may
become aged together.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And she said with him, Amen.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So they slept both that night. And
Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Saying, I fear lest he also be
dead.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But when Raguel was come into his
house,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) He said unto his wife Edna. Send
one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that
we may bury him, and no man know it.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) So the maid opened the door, and
went in, and found them both asleep,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And came forth, and told them
that he was alive.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Then Raguel praised God, and
said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise;
therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all
thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Thou art to be praised, for thou
hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but
thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Thou art to be praised because
thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their
fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with
joy and mercy.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Then Raguel bade his servants to
fill the grave.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And he kept the wedding feast
fourteen days.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) For before the days of the
marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he
should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And then he should take the half
of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest
when I and my wife be dead.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then Tobias called Raphael, and
said unto him,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Brother Azarias, take with thee a
servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me
the money, and bring him to the wedding.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For Raguel hath sworn that I shall
not depart.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) But my father counteth the days;
and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) So Raphael went out, and lodged
with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which
were sealed up, and gave them to him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And early in the morning they went
forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his
wife.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Now Tobit his father counted every
day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Then Tobit said, Are they
detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Therefore he was very sorry.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Then his wife said unto him, My
son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Now I care for nothing, my son,
since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) To whom Tobit said, Hold thy
peace, take no care, for he is safe.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) But she said, Hold thy peace, and
deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way
which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole
nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding
were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then
Tobias said to Raguel, (8) Let me go,
for my father and my mother look no more to see me.
(ⲏ̅)
(9) But his father in law said unto
him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare
unto him how things go with thee.
(ⲑ̅)
(10) But Tobias said, No; but let me
go to my father.
(ⲓ̅)
(11) Then Raguel arose, and gave him
Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(12) And he blessed them, and sent
them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my
children.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(13) And he said to his daughter,
Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that
I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to
Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that
I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may
rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of
special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) After these things Tobias went his
way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed
Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto
Nineve.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou
knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Let us haste before thy wife, and
prepare the house.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And take in thine hand the gall of
the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Now Anna sat looking about toward
the way for her son.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And when she espied him coming,
she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went
with him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias,
that thy father will open his eyes.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Therefore anoint thou his eyes
with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the
whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon
the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son,
from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Tobit also went forth toward the
door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And took hold of his father: and
he strake of the gall on his fathers’ eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my
father.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And when his eyes began to smart,
he rubbed them;
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And the whiteness pilled away
from the corners of his eyes:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck. (14) And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O
God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy
angels:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) For thou hast scourged, and hast
taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in
rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him
in Media.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Then Tobit went out to meet his
daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and
they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) But Tobias gave thanks before
them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his
daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God
be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father
and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at
Nineve.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his
brother’s son, came:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And Tobias’ wedding was kept
seven days with great joy.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then Tobit called his son Tobias,
and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went
with thee, and thou must give him more.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And Tobias said unto him, O
father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have
brought:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For he hath brought me again to
thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and
likewise healed thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Then the old man said, It is due
unto him.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) So he called the angel, and he
said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in
safety.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Then he took them both apart, and
said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him
for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live.
It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew
forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) It is good to keep close the
secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do
that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Prayer is good with fasting and
alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much
with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For alms doth deliver from death,
and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness
shall be filled with life:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But they that sin are enemies to
their own life.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Surely I will keep close nothing
from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but
that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Now therefore, when thou didst
pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your
prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was
with thee likewise.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And when thou didst not delay to
rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed
was not hid from me: but I was with thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And now God hath sent me to heal
thee and Sara thy daughter in law.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) I am Raphael, one of the seven
holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and
out before the glory of the Holy One.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Then they were both troubled, and
fell upon their faces: for they feared.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) But he said unto them, Fear not,
for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For not of any favour of mine,
but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) All these days I did appear unto
you; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Now therefore give God thanks:
for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a
book.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And when they arose, they saw him
no more.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Then they confessed the great and
wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto
them.
13
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then Tobit wrote a prayer of
rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be
his kingdom.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For he doth scourge, and hath
mercy: he leadeth down to hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there
any that can avoid his hand.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Confess him before the Gentiles,
ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) There declare his greatness, and
extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God
our Father for ever.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And he will scourge us for our
iniquities, and will have mercy again, and will gather us out of all
nations, among whom he hath scattered us.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) If ye turn to him with your whole
heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will
he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what
he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise
the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my
captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful
nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he
will accept you, and have mercy on you?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) I will extol my God, and my soul
shall praise the King of heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Let all men speak, and let all
praise him for his righteousness.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) O Jerusalem, the holy city, he
will scourge thee for thy children’s works, and will have mercy again on
the sons of the righteous.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Give praise to the Lord, for he
is good: and praise the everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be
builded in thee again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee
those that are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are
miserable.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Many nations shall come from far
to the name of the Lord God with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the
King of heaven; all generations shall praise thee with great joy.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Cursed are all they which hate
thee, and blessed shall all be which love thee for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Rejoice and be glad for the
children of the just: for they shall be gathered together, and shall
bless the Lord of the just.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) O blessed are they which love
thee, for they shall rejoice in thy peace: blessed are they which have
been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee,
when they have seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Let my soul bless God the great
King.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For Jerusalem shall be built up
with sapphires and emeralds, and precious stone: thy walls and towers and
battlements with pure gold.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And the streets of Jerusalem
shall be paved with beryl and carbuncle and stones of Ophir.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And all her streets shall say,
Alleluia; and they shall praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath
extolled it for ever.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) So Tobit made an end of praising
God.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And he was eight and fifty years
old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years:
and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and
praised him.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And when he was very aged he
called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take
thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this
life.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Go into Media my son, for I surely
believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it
shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media;
and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good
land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall
be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And that again God will have mercy
on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a
temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be
fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their
captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall
be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have
spoken thereof.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And all nations shall turn, and
fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) So shall all nations praise the
Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his
people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall
rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And now, my son, depart out of
Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall
surely come to pass.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) But keep thou the law and the
commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well
with thee.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And bury me decently, and thy
mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman
handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him
into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved,
but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses
gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him:
but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Wherefore now, my son, consider
what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said
these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight
and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And when Anna his mother was
dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife
and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Where he became old with honour,
and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited
their substance, and his father Tobit’s.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And he died at Ecbatane in Media,
being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) But before he died he heard of
the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and
Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.

the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered:
and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the

yet set him down for an ungodly man.

(6) And Elius the Buzite the son of

wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.

(11) And all his brethren and his
sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so
did all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with
him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought
upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachms’ weight of gold,
even of unstamped gold.

Arabia: and his name before was Jobab; (17c) and having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a
son whose name was Ennon. And he himself was the son of his father Zare,
one of the sons of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the
fifth from Abraam. (17d) And these
were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he also ruled over:
first, Balac, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dennaba: but
after Balac, Jobab, who is called Job, and after him Asom, who was
governor out of the country of Thaeman: and after him Adad, the son of
Barad, who destroyed Madiam in the plain of Moab; and the name of his
city was Gethaim. (17e) And his
friends who came to him were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of
the Thaemanites, Baldad sovereign the Sauchaeans, Sophar king of the
Minaeans.

(9) The houses of transgressors will
need purification; but the houses of the just are acceptable.

(10) If a man’s mind is intelligent,
his soul is sorrowful; and when he rejoices, he has no fellowship with
pride.

(11) The houses of ungodly men shall
be utterly destroyed; but the tabernacles of them that walk uprightly
shall stand.

(12) There is a way which seems to be
right with men, but the ends of it reach to the depths of hell.

(13) Grief mingles not with mirth; and
joy in the end comes to grief.

(15) The simple believes every word:
but the prudent man betakes himself to after-thought.

(16) A wise man fears, and departs
from evil; but the fool trusts in himself, and joins himself with the
transgressor.

(17) A passionate man acts
inconsiderately; but a sensible man bears up under many things.

(22) They that go astray devise evils:
but the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not
understand mercy and truth: but compassion and faithfulness are with the
framers of good.

(26) In the fear of the Lord is strong
confidence: and he leaves his children a support.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) The commandment of the Lord is a
fountain of life; and it causes men to turn aside from the snare of
death.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) In a populous nation is the glory
of a king: but in the failure of people is the ruin of a prince.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) A man slow to wrath abounds in
wisdom: but a man of impatient spirit is very foolish.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) A meek-spirited man is a healer
of the heart: but a sensitive heart is a corruption of the bones.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) He that oppresses the needy
provokes his Maker: but he that honours him has pity upon the poor.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) The ungodly shall be driven away
in his wickedness: but he who is secure in his own holiness is just.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) There is wisdom in the good heart
of a man: but in the heart of fools it is not discerned.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) Righteousness exalts a nation:
but sins diminish tribes.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) An understanding servant is
acceptable to a king; and by his good behaviour he removes disgrace.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Anger slays even wise men; yet a
submissive answer turns away wrath: but a grievous word stirs up anger.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The tongue of the wise knows what
is good: but the mouth of the foolish tells out evil things.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The eyes of the Lord behold both
the evil and the good in every place.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) The wholesome tongue is a tree of
life, and he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) A fool scorns his father’s
instruction; but he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In
abounding righteousness is great strength: but the ungodly shall utterly
perish from the earth.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) In the houses of the righteous is
much strength: but the fruits of the ungodly shall perish.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) The lips of the wise are bound by
discretion: but the hearts of the foolish are not safe.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The sacrifices of the ungodly are
an abomination to the Lord; but the prayers of them that walk honestly
are acceptable with him.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The ways of an ungodly man are an
abomination to the Lord; but he loves those that follow after
righteousness.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) The instruction of the simple is
known by them that pass by; but they that hate reproofs die
disgracefully.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Hell and destruction are manifest
to the Lord; how shall not also be the hearts of men?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) An uninstructed person will not
love those that reprove him; neither will he associate with the wise.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) When the heart rejoices the
countenance is cheerful; but when it is in sorrow, the countenance is
sad.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) An upright heart seeks
discretion; but the mouth of the uninstructed will experience evils.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) The eyes of the wicked are always
looking for evil things; but the good are always quiet.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Better is a small portion with
the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without the fear of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Better is an entertainment of
herbs with friendliness and kindness, than a feast of calves, with
enmity.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) A passionate man stirs up strife;
but he that is slow to anger appeases even a rising one. (18a) A man slow to anger will extinguish
quarrels; but an ungodly man rather stirs them up.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) The ways of sluggards are strewn
with thorns; but those of the diligent are made smooth.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) A wise son gladdens his father;
but a foolish son sneers at his mother.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) The ways of a foolish man are
void of sense; but a wise man proceeds on his way aright.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) They that honour not councils put
off deliberation; but counsel abides in the hearts of counsellors.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) A bad man will by no means attend
to counsel; neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the
common weal.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) The thoughts of the wise are ways
of life, that he may turn aside and escape from hell.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) The Lord pulls down the houses of
scorners; but he establishes the border of the widow.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) An unrighteous thought is
abomination to the Lord; but the sayings of the pure are held in honour.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) A receiver of bribes destroys
himself; but he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe. (27a) By alms and by faithful dealings sins are
purged away; but by the fear of the Lord every one departs from evil.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) The hearts of the righteous
meditate faithfulness; but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things.
(28a) The ways of righteous men are
acceptable with the Lord; and through them even enemies become friends.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) God is far from the ungodly; but
he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. (29a) Better are small receipts with
righteousness, than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. (29b) Let the heart of a man think justly, that
his steps may be rightly ordered of God.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) The eye that sees rightly
rejoices the heart; and a good report fattens the bones.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) He that rejects instruction hates
himself; but he that mind reproofs loves his soul.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) The fear of the Lord is
instruction and wisdom; and the highest honour will correspond therewith.
16
(ⲃ̅)
(15:33a) All the works of the humble
man are manifest with God; but the ungodly shall perish in an evil day.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Every one that is proud in heart
is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall
not be held guiltless.
(ⲍ̅)
(5a) The beginning of a good way is to
do justly; and it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices.
(ⲏ̅)
(5b) He that seeks the Lord shall find
knowledge with righteousness: and they that rightly seek him shall find
peace.
(ⲑ̅)
(5c) All of the works of the Lord are
done with righteousness; and the ungodly man is kept for the evil day.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) There is an oracle upon the lips
of a king; and his mouth shall not err in judgment.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The poise of the balance is
righteousness with the Lord; and his works are righteous measures.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) An evil-doer is an abomination to
a king; for the throne of rule is established by righteousness.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Righteous lips are acceptable to
a king; and he loves right words.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) The anger of a king is a
messenger of death; but a wise man will pacify him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) The son of a king is in the light
of life; and they that are in favour with him are as a cloud of latter
rain.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) The brood of wisdom is more to be
chosen than gold, and the brood of prudence more to be chosen than
silver.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) The paths of life turn aside from
evil; and the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives
instruction shall be in prosperity; and he that regards reproofs shall be
made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; and he that
loves his life will spare his mouth.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Pride goes before destruction,
and folly before a fall.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Better is a meek-spirited man
with lowliness, than one who divides spoils with the proud.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) He who is skillful in business
finds good: but he that trusts in God is most blessed.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Men call the wise and
understanding evil: but they that are pleasing in speech shall hear more.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Understanding is a fountain of
life to its possessors; but the instruction of fools is evil.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) The heart of the wise will
discern the things which proceed from his own mouth; and on his lips he
will wear knowledge.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Good words are honeycombs, and
the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) There are ways that seem to be
right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) A man who labours, labours for
himself, and drives from him his own ruin.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) But the perverse bears
destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself,
and treasures fire on his own lips.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) A perverse man spreads mischief,
and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates
friends.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) A transgressor tries to ensnare
friends, and leads them in ways that are not good.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) And the man that fixes his eyes
devises perverse things, and marks out with his lips all evil: he is a
furnace of wickedness.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) Old age is a crown of honour, but
it is found in the ways of righteousness.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) A man slow to anger is better
than a strong man; and he that governs his temper better than he that
takes a city.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) All evils come upon the ungodly
into their bosoms; but all righteous things come of the Lord.
17
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Better is a morsel with pleasure
in peace, than a house full of many good things and unjust sacrifices,
with strife.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A wise servant shall have rule
over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) As silver and gold are tried in a
furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A bad man hearkens to the tongue
of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips.
(ⲋ̅)
(6a) The faithful has the whole world
full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) He that laughs at the poor
provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of
another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall
find mercy.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Children’s children are the crown
of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Faithful lips will not suit a
fool; nor lying lips a just man.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Instruction is to them that use it
a gracious reward; and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) He that conceals injuries seeks
love; but he that hates to hide them separates friends and kindred.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) A threat breaks down the heart of
a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Every bad man stirs up strifes:
but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Care may befall a man of
understanding; but fools will meditate evils.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Whoso rewards evil for good, evil
shall not be removed from his house.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Rightful rule gives power to
words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) He that pronounces the unjust
just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Why has the fool wealth? for a
senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. (16a) He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and
he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Have thou a friend for every
time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are
they born.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) A foolish man applauds and
rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself
responsible for his own friends.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) A lover of sin rejoices in
strifes;
(ⲕ̅)
(20) and the hard-hearted man comes
not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs;
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) and the heart of a fool is grief
to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a
wise son gladdens his mother.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) A glad heart promotes health; but
the bones of a sorrowful man dry up.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) The ways of a man who unjustly
receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts
the ways of righteousness.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) The countenance of a wise man is
sensible; but the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) A foolish son is a cause of anger
to his father, and grief to her that bore him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) It is not right to punish a
righteous man, nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) He that forbears to utter a hard
word is discreet, and a patient man is wise.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool
who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be
sensible.
18
(ⲁ̅)
(1) A man who wishes to separate from
friends seeks excuses; but at all times he will be liable to reproach.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A senseless man feels no need of
wisdom, for he is rather led by folly.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) When an ungodly man comes into a
depth of evils, he despises them; but dishonour and reproach come upon
him.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A word in the heart of a man is a
deep water, and a river and fountain of life spring forth.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) It is not good to accept the
person of the ungodly, nor is it holy to pervert justice in judgment.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) The lips of a fool bring him into
troubles, and his bold mouth calls for death.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) A fool’s mouth is ruin to him, and
his lips are a snare to his soul.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Fear casts down the slothful; and
the souls of the effeminate shall hunger.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) A man who helps not himself by his
labour is brother of him that ruins himself.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) The name of the Lord is of great
strength; and the righteous running to it are exalted.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The wealth of a rich man is a
strong city; and its glory casts a broad shadow.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Before ruin a man’s heart is
exalted, and before honour it is humble.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Whoso answers a word before he
hears a cause, it is folly and reproach to him.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) A wise servant calms a man’s
anger; but who can endure a faint-hearted man?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) The heart of the sensible man
purchases discretion; and the ears of the wise seek understanding.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) A man’s gift enlarges him, and
seats him among princes.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) A righteous man accuses himself
at the beginning of his speech, but when he has entered upon the attack,
the adversary is reproved.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) A silent man quells strifes, and
determines between great powers.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) A brother helped by a brother is
as a strong and high city; and is as strong as a well-founded palace.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) A man fills his belly with the
fruits of his mouth; and he shall be satisfied with the fruits of his
lips.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Life and death are in the power
of the tongue; and they that rule it shall eat the fruits thereof.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) He that has found a good wife has
found favours, and has received gladness from God. (22a) He that puts
away a good wife, puts away a good thing, and he that keeps an adulteress
is foolish and ungodly.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(19:3) The folly of a man spoils his
ways: and he blames God in his heart.
19
(ⲁ̅)
(4) Wealth acquires many friends; but
the poor is deserted even of the friend he has.
(ⲃ̅)
(5) A false witness shall not be
unpunished, and he that accuses unjustly shall not escape.
(ⲅ̅)
(6) Many court the favour of kings;
but every bad man becomes a reproach to another man.
(ⲇ̅)
(7) Every one who hates his poor
brother shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw
near to them that know it, and a sensible man will find it. He that does
much harm perfects mischief; and he that used provoking words shall not
escape.
(ⲉ̅)
(8) He that procures wisdom loves
himself; and he that keeps wisdom shall find good.
(ⲋ̅)
(9) A false witness shall not be
unpunished; and whosoever shall kindle mischief shall perish by it.
(ⲍ̅)
(10) Delight does not suit a fool, nor
is it seemly if a servant should begin to rule with haughtiness.
(ⲏ̅)
(11) A merciful man is long-suffering;
and his triumph overtakes transgressors.
(ⲑ̅)
(12) The threatening of a king is like
the roaring of a lion; but as dew on the grass, so is his favour.
(ⲓ̅)
(13) A foolish son is a disgrace to
his father: vows paid out of the hire of a harlot are not pure.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(14) Fathers divide house and
substance to their children: but a wife is suited to a man by the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(15) Cowardice possesses the
effeminate man; and the soul of the sluggard shall hunger.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(16) He that keeps the commandment
keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall perish.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(17) He that has pity on the poor
lends to the Lord; and he will recompense to him according to his gift.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(18) Chasten thy son, for so he shall
be hopeful; and be not exalted in thy soul to haughtiness.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(19) A malicious man shall be severely
punished, and if he commit injury, he shall also lose his life.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(20) Hear, son, the instruction of thy
father, that thou mayest be wise at thy latter end.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(21) There are many thoughts in a
man’s heart; but the counsel of the Lord abides for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(22) Mercy is a fruit to a man: and a
poor man is better than a rich liar.
(ⲕ̅)
(23) The fear of the Lord is life to a
man: and he shall lodge without fear in places where knowledge is not
seen.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(24) He that unjustly hides his hands
in his bosom, will not even bring them up to his mouth.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(25) When a pestilent character is
scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if thou reprove a wise man, he
will understand discretion.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(26) He that dishonours his father,
and drives away his mother, shall be disgraced and shall be exposed to
reproach.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(27) A son who ceases to attend to the
instruction of a father will cherish evil designs.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(28) He that becomes surety for a
foolish child will despise the ordinance: and the mouth of ungodly men
shall drink down judgment.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(29) Scourges are preparing for the
intemperate, and punishments likewise for fools.
20
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Wine is an intemperate thing, and
strong drink full of violence: but every fool is entangled with them.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The threat of a king differs not
from the rage of a lion; and he that provokes him sins against his own
soul.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) It is a glory to a man to turn
aside from railing; but every fool is entangled with such matters.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A sluggard when reproached is not
ashamed: so also he who borrows corn in harvest.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Counsel in a man’s heart is deep
water; but a prudent man will draw it out.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) A man is valuable, and a merciful
man precious: but it is hard to find a faithful man.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) He that walks blameless in
justice, shall leave his children blessed.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Whenever a righteous king sits on
the throne, no evil thing can stand before his presence.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Who will boast that he has a pure
heart? or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins?
(ⲓ̅)
(20) The lamp of him that reviles
father or mother shall be put out, and his eyeballs shall see darkness.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) A portion hastily gotten at first
shall not be blessed in the end.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Say not, I will avenge myself on
my enemy; but wait on the Lord, that he may help thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(10) A large and small weight, and
divers measures, are even both of them unclean before the Lord; and so is
he that makes them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(11) A youth when in company with a
godly man, will be restrained in his devices, and then his way will be
straight.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(12) The ear hears, and the eye sees:
even both of them are the Lord’s work.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(13) Love not to speak ill, lest thou
be cut off: open thine eyes, and be filled with bread.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(23) A double weight is an abomination
to the Lord; and a deceitful balance is not good in his sight.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(24) A man’s goings are directed of
the Lord: how then can a mortal understand his ways?
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(25) It is a snare to a man hastily to
consecrate some of his own property: for in that case repentance comes
after vowing.
(ⲕ̅)
(26) A wise king utterly crushes the
ungodly, and will bring a wheel upon them.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(27) The spirit of man is a light of
the Lord, who searches the inmost parts of the belly.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(28) Mercy and truth are a guard to a
king, and will surround his throne with righteousness.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(29) Wisdom is an ornament to young
men; and grey hairs are the glory of old men.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(30) Bruises and contusions befall bad
men; and plagues shall come in the inward parts of their belly.
21
(ⲁ̅)
(1) As a rush of water, so is the
king’s heart in God’s hand: he turns it whithersoever he may desire to
point out.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Every man seems to himself
righteous; but the Lord directs the hearts.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) To do justly and to speak truth,
are more pleasing to God than the blood of sacrifices.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A high-minded man is stout-hearted
in his pride; and the lamp of the wicked is sin.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) He that gathers treasures with a
lying tongue pursues vanity on to the snares of death.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Destruction shall lodge with the
ungodly; for they refuse to do justly.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) To the froward God sends froward
ways; for his works are pure and right.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) It is better to dwell in a corner
on the house-top, than in plastered rooms with unrighteousness, and in an
open house.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) The soul of the ungodly shall not
be pitied by any man.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) When an intemperate man is
punished the simple becomes wiser: and a wise man understanding will
receive knowledge.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) A righteous man understands the
hearts of the ungodly: and despises the ungodly for their wickedness.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) He that stops his ears from
hearing the poor, himself also shall cry, and there shall be none to hear
him.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) A secret gift calms anger: but he
that forbears to give stirs up strong wrath.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) It is the joy of the righteous to
do judgment: but a holy man is abominable with evil-doers.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) A man that wanders out of the way
of righteousness, shall rest in the congregation of giants.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) A poor man loves mirth, loving
wine and oil in abundance;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) and a transgressor is the
abomination of a righteous man.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) It is better to dwell in a
wilderness than with a quarrelsome and talkative and passionate woman.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) A desirable treasure will rest on
the mouth of the wise; but foolish men will swallow it up.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) The way of righteousness and
mercy will find life and glory.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) A wise man assaults strong
cities, and demolishes the fortress in which the ungodly trusted.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) He that keeps his mouth and his
tongue keeps his soul from trouble.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) A bold and self-willed and
insolent man is called a pest: and he that remembers injuries is a
transgressor.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Desires kill the sluggard; for
his hands do not choose to do anything.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) An ungodly man entertains evil
desires all the day: but the righteous is unsparingly merciful and
compassionate.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) The sacrifices of the ungodly are
abomination to the Lord, for they offer them wickedly.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) A false witness shall perish; but
an obedient man will speak cautiously.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) An ungodly man impudently
withstands with his face; but the upright man himself understands his
ways.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) There is no wisdom, there is no
courage, there is no counsel against the ungodly.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) A horse is prepared for the day
of battle; but help is of the Lord.
22
(ⲁ̅)
(1) A fair name is better than much
wealth, and good favour is above silver and gold.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The rich and the poor meet
together; but the Lord made them both.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) An intelligent man seeing a bad
man severely punished is himself instructed, but fools pass by and are
punished.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) The fear of the Lord is the
offspring of wisdom, and wealth, and glory, and life.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Thistles and snares are in
perverse ways; but he that keeps his soul will refrain from them.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) The rich will rule over the poor,
and servants will lend to their own masters.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) He that sows wickedness shall reap
troubles; and shall fully receive the punishment of his deeds.
(8a) God loves a cheerful and liberal
man; but a man shall fully prove the folly of his works.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) He that has pity on the poor shall
himself be maintained; for he has given of his own bread to the poor.
(9a) He that gives liberally secures
victory an honour; but he takes away the life of them that posses them.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Cast out a pestilent person from
the council, and strife shall go out with him; for when he sits in the
council he dishonours all.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The Lord loves holy hearts, and
all blameless persons are acceptable with him: a king rules with his
lips.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) But the eyes of the Lord preserve
discretion; but the transgressor despises wise words.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The sluggard makes excuses, and
says, There is a lion in the ways, and murderers in the streets.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) The mouth of a transgressor is a
deep pit; and he that is hated of the Lord shall fall into it.
(14a) Evil ways are before a man, and
he does not like to turn away from them; but it is needful to turn aside
from a perverse and bad way.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Folly is attached to the heart of
a child, but the rod and instruction are then far from him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) He that oppresses the poor,
increases his own substance, yet gives to the rich so as to make it less.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Incline thine ear to the words of
wise men: hear also my word, and apply thine heart,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) that thou mayest know that they
are good: and if thou lay them to heart, they shall also gladden thee on
thy lips.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) That thy hope may be in the Lord,
and he may make thy way known to thee.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And do thou too repeatedly record
them for thyself on the table of thine heart, for counsel and knowledge.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) I therefore teach thee truth, and
knowledge good to hear; that thou mayest answer words of truth to them
that question thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Do no violence to the poor, for
he is needy: neither dishonour the helpless man in the gates.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For the Lord will plead his
cause, and thou shalt deliver thy soul in safety.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Be not companion to a furious
man; neither lodge with a passionate man:
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) lest thou learn of his ways, and
get snares to thy soul.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Become not surety from respect of
a man’s person.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For if those have not whence to
give compensation, they will take the bed that is under thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Remove not the old landmarks,
which thy fathers placed.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) It is fit that an observant man
and one diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend
on slothful men.
23
(ⲁ̅)
(1) If thou sit to sup at the table of
a prince, consider attentively the things set before thee:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) and apply thine hand, knowing that
it behoves thee to prepare such meats: but if thou art very insatiable,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) desire not his provisions; for
these belong to a false life.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) If thou art poor, measure not
thyself with a rich man; but refrain thyself in thy wisdom.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) If thou shouldest fix thine eye
upon him, he will disappear; for wings like an eagle’s are prepared for
him, and he returns to the house of his master.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Sup not with an envious man,
neither desire thou his meats:
(ⲏ̅a)
(7b) and do not bring him in to
thyself, nor eat thy morsel with him:
(ⲍ̅)
(7a) so he eats and drinks as if any
one should swallow a hair,
(ⲏ̅b)
(8) for he will vomit it up, and spoil
thy fair words.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Say nothing in the ears of a fool,
lest at any time he sneer at thy wise words.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Remove not the ancient landmarks;
and enter not upon the possession of the fatherless:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) for the Lord is their redeemer;
he is mighty, and will plead their cause with thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Apply thine heart to instruction,
and prepare thine ears for words of discretion.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Refrain not from chastening a
child; for if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For thou shalt beat him with the
rod, and shalt deliver his soul from death.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Son, if thy heart be wise, thou
shalt also gladden my heart;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) and thy lips shall converse with
my lips, if they be right.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Let not thine heart envy sinners:
but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For if thou shouldest keep these
things, thou shalt have posterity; and thine hope shall not be removed.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Hear, my son, and be wise, and
rightly direct the thoughts of thine heart.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Be not a wine-bibber, neither
continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) for every drunkard and
whoremonger shall be poor; and every sluggard shall clothe himself with
tatters and ragged garments.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Hearken, my son, to thy father
which begot thee, and despise not thy mother because she is grown old.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) A righteous father brings up his
children well; and his soul rejoices over a wise son.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Let thy father and thy mother
rejoice over thee, and let her that bore thee be glad.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) My son, give me thine heart, and
let thine eyes observe my ways.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For a strange house is a vessel
full of holes; and a strange well is narrow.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) For such a one shall perish
suddenly; and every transgressor shall be cut off.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) Who has woe? who trouble? who has
quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who has bruises without a
cause? whose eyes are livid?
(ⲗ̅)
(30) Are not those of them that stay
long at wine? are not those of them that haunt the places where banquets
are?
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse with
them openly. (31) For if thou
shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, thou shalt afterwards go more
naked than a pestle.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(32) But at last such a one stretches
himself out as one smitten by a serpent, and venom is diffused through
him as by a horned serpent.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) Whenever thine eyes shall behold
a strange woman, then thy mouth shall speak perverse things.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) And thou shalt lie as in the
midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) And thou shalt say, They smote
me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when
will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in
company?
24
(ⲁ̅)
(1) My son, envy not bad men, nor
desire to be with them.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For their heart meditates
falsehoods, and their lips speak mischiefs.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) A house is built by wisdom, and is
set up by understanding.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) By discretion the chambers are
filled with all precious and excellent wealth.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) A wise man is better than a strong
man; and a man who has prudence than a large estate.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) War is carried on with
generalship, and aid is supplied to the heart of a counsellor.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Wisdom and good understanding are
in the gates of the wise:
(ⲏ̅)
the wise turn not aside from the mouth of the Lord, (7a) but deliberate in council. (9) Death befalls uninstructed men.
(ⲑ̅)
The fools also dies in sins; and uncleanness attaches to a pestilent man.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) He shall be defiled in the evil
day, and in the day of affliction, until he be utterly consumed.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Deliver them that are led away to
death, and redeem them that are appointed to be slain; spare not thy
help.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) But if thou shouldest say, I know
not this man; know that the Lord knows the hearts of all; and he that
formed breath for all, he knows all things, who renders to every man
according to his works.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) My son, eat honey, for the
honeycomb is good, that thy throat may be sweetened.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Thus shalt thou perceive wisdom
in thy soul: for if thou find it, thine end shall be good, and hope shall
not fail thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Bring not an ungodly man into the
dwelling of the righteous: neither be deceived by the feeding of the
belly.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For a righteous man will fall
seven times, and rise again: but the ungodly shall be without strength in
troubles.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) If thine enemy should fall,
rejoice not over him, neither be elated at his overthrow.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For the Lord will see it, and it
will not please him, and he will turn away his wrath from him.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Rejoice not in evil-doers,
neither be envious of sinners.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) For the evil man shall have no
posterity: and the light of the wicked shall be put out.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) My son, fear God and the king;
and do not disobey either of them.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) For they will suddenly punish the
ungodly, and who can know the vengeance inflicted by both? (22a) A son
that keeps the commandment shall escape destruction; for such an one has
fully received it. (22b) Let no falsehood be spoken by the king from the
tongue; yea, let no falsehood proceed from his tongue. (22c) The king’s
tongue is a sword, and not one of flesh; and whosoever shall be given up
to it shall be destroyed: (22d) for if his wrath should be provoked, he
destroys men with cords, (22e) and devours men’s bones, and burns them up
as a flame, so that they are not even fit to be eaten by the young
eagles.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(30:1) These things says the man to
them that trust in God; and I cease.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(30:2) For I am the most simple of all
men, and there is not in me the wisdom of men.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(30:3) God has taught me wisdom, and I
know the knowledge of the holy.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(30:4) Who has gone up to heaven, and
come down? who has gathered the winds in his bosom? who has wrapped up
the waters in a garment? who has dominion of all the ends of the earth?
what is his name? or what is the name of his children?
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(30:5) For all the words of God are
tried in the fire, and he defends those that reverence him.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(30:6) Add not unto his words, lest he
reprove thee, and thou be made a liar.
(ⲗ̅)
(30:7) Two things I ask of thee; take
not favour from me before I die.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(30:8) Remove far from me vanity and
falsehood: and give me not wealth or poverty; but appoint me what is
needful and sufficient:
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(30:9) lest I be filled and become
false, and say, Who sees me? or be poor and steal, and swear vainly by
the name of God.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(30:10) Deliver not a servant into the
hands of his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be utterly destroyed.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(30:11) A wicked generation curse
their father, and do not bless their mother.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(30:12) A wicked generation judge
themselves to be just, but do not cleanse their way.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(30:13) A wicked generation have lofty
eyes, and exalt themselves with their eyelids.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(30:14) A wicked generation have
swords for teeth and jaw-teeth as knives, so as to destroy and devour the
lowly from the earth, and the poor of them from among men.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(23) And this thing I say to you that
are wise for you to learn: It is not good to have respect of persons in
judgment.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(24) He that says of the ungodly, He
is righteous, shall be cursed by peoples, and hateful among the nations.
(ⲙ̅)
(25) But they that reprove him shall
appear more excellent, and blessing shall come upon them;
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(26) and men will kiss lips that
answer well.
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(27) Prepare thy works for thy going
forth, and prepare thyself for the field; and come after me, and thou
shalt rebuild thine house.
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
(28) Be not a false witness against
thy fellow citizen, neither exaggerate with thy lips.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(29) Say not, As he has treated me, so
will I treat him, and I will avenge myself on him for that wherein he has
injured me.
(ⲙ̅ⲉ̅)
(30) A foolish man is like a farm, and
a senseless man is like a vineyard.
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅)
(31) If thou let him alone, he will
altogether remain barren and covered with weeds; and he becomes
destitute, and his stone walls are broken down.
(ⲙ̅ⲍ̅)
(32) Afterwards I reflected, I looked
that I might receive instruction.
(ⲙ̅ⲏ̅)
(33) The sluggard says,I slumber a
little, and I sleep a little, and for a little while I fold my arms
across my breast.
(ⲙ̅ⲑ̅)
(34) But if thou do this, thy poverty
will come speedily; and thy want like a swift courier.
(ⲛ̅)
(30:15) The horse-leech had three
dearly-beloved daughters: and these three did not satisfy her; and the
fourth was not contented so as to say, Enough.
(ⲛ̅ⲁ̅)
(30:16) The grave, and the love of a
woman, and the earth not filled with water; water also and fire will not
say, It is enough.
(ⲛ̅ⲃ̅)
(30:17) The eye that laughs to scorn a
father, and dishonours the old age of a mother, let the ravens of the
valleys pick it out, and let the young eagles devour it.
(ⲛ̅ⲅ̅)
(30:18) Moreover there are three
things impossible for me to comprehend, and the fourth I know not:
(ⲛ̅ⲇ̅)
(30:19) the track of a flying eagle;
and the ways of a serpent on a rock; and the paths of a ship passing
through the sea; and the ways of a man in youth.
(ⲛ̅ⲉ̅)
(30:20) Such is the way of an
adulterous woman, who having washed herself from what she has done, says
she has done nothing amiss.
(ⲛ̅ⲋ̅)
(30:21) By three thing the earth is
troubled, and the fourth it cannot bear:
(ⲛ̅ⲍ̅)
(30:22) if a servant reign; or a fool
be filled with food;
(ⲛ̅ⲏ̅)
(30:23) or if a maid-servant should
cast out her own mistress; and if a hateful woman should marry a good
man.
(ⲛ̅ⲑ̅)
(30:24) And there are four very little
things upon the earth, but these are wiser than the wise:
(ⲝ̅)
(30:25) the ants which are weak, and
yet prepare their food in summer;
(ⲝ̅ⲁ̅)
(30:26) the rabbits also are a feeble
race, who make their houses in the rocks.
(ⲝ̅ⲃ̅)
(30:27) The locusts have no king, and
yet march orderly at one command.
(ⲝ̅ⲅ̅)
(30:28) And the eft, which supports
itself by its hands, and is easily taken, dwells in the fortresses of
kings.
(ⲝ̅ⲇ̅)
(30:29) And there are three things
which go well, and a fourth which passes along finely.
(ⲝ̅ⲉ̅)
(30:30) A lion’s whelp, stronger than
all other beasts, which turns not away, nor fears any beast;
(ⲝ̅ⲋ̅)
(30:31) and a cock walking in boldly
among the hens, and the goat leading the herd; and a king publicly
speaking before a nation.
(ⲝ̅ⲍ̅)
(30:32) If thou abandon thyself to
mirth, and stretch forth thine hand in a quarrel, thou shalt be
disgraced.
(ⲝ̅ⲏ̅)
(30:33) Milk out milk, and there shall
be butter, and if thou wing one’s nostrils there shall come out blood: so
if thou extort words, there will come forth quarrels and strifes.
(ⲝ̅ⲑ̅)
(31:1) My words have been spoken by
God - the oracular answer of a king, whom his mother instructed.
(ⲟ̅)
(31:2) What wilt thou keep, my son,
what? the words of God. My firstborn son, I speak to thee: what? son of
my womb? what? son of my vows?
(ⲟ̅ⲁ̅)
(31:3) Give not thy wealth to women,
nor thy mind and living to remorse. Do all things with counsel: drink
wine with counsel.
(ⲟ̅ⲃ̅)
(31:4) Princes are prone to anger: let
them then not drink wine:
(ⲟ̅ⲅ̅)
(31:5) lest they drink, and forget
wisdom, and be not able to judge the poor rightly.
(ⲟ̅ⲇ̅)
(31:6) Give strong drink to those that
are in sorrow, and the wine to drink to those in pain:
(ⲟ̅ⲉ̅)
(31:7) that they may forget their
poverty, and may not remember their troubles any more.
(ⲟ̅ⲋ̅)
(31:8) Open thy mouth with the word of
God, and judge all fairly.
(ⲟ̅ⲍ̅)
(31:9) Open thy mouth and judge
justly, and plead the cause of the poor and weak.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) These are the miscellaneous
instructions of Solomon, which the friends of Ezekias king of Judea
copied out.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The glory of God conceals a
matter: but the glory of a king honours business.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Heaven is high, and earth is deep,
and a king’s heart is unsearchable.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Beat the drossy silver, and it
shall be made entirely pure.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Slay the ungodly from before the
king, and his throne shall prosper in righteousness.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Be not boastful in the presence of
the king, and remain not in the places of princes;
(ⲍ̅)
(7) for it is better for thee that it
should be said, Come up to me, than that one should humble thee in the
presence of the prince; speak of that which thine eyes have seen.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Get not suddenly into a quarrel,
lest thou repent at last. (9) Whenever
thy friend shall reproach thee,
(ⲑ̅)
retreat backward, despise him not;
(ⲓ̅)
(10) lest thy friend continue to
reproach thee, so thy quarrel and enmity shall not depart, but shall be
to thee like death. (10a) Favour and
friendship set a man free, which do thou keep for thyself, lest thou be
made liable to reproach; but take heed to thy ways peaceably.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) As a golden apple in a necklace
of sardius, so is it to speak a wise word.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) In an ear-ring of gold a precious
sardius is also set; so is a wise word to an obedient ear.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) As a fall of snow in the time of
harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger refreshes those
that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) As winds and clouds and rains are
most evident objects, so is he that boasts of a false gift.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) In long-suffering is prosperity
to kings, and a soft tongue breaks the bones.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Having found honey, eat only what
is enough, lest haply thou be filled, and vomit it up.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Enter sparingly into thy friend’s
house, lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) As a club, and a dagger, and a
pointed arrow, so also is a man who bears false witness against his
friend.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) The way of the wicked and the
foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) As vinegar is bad for a sore, so
trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart. (20a) As a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood,
so the grief of a man hurts the heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) If thine enemy hunger, feed him;
if he thirst, give him drink;
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) for so doing thou shalt heap
coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee with good.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) The north wind raises clouds; so
an impudent face provokes the tongue.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) It is better to dwell on a corner
of the roof, than with a railing woman in an open house.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) As cold water is agreeable to a
thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) As if one should stop a well, and
corrupt a spring of water, so is it unseemly for a righteous man to fall
before an ungodly man.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) It is not good to eat much honey;
but it is right to honour venerable sayings.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) As a city whose walls are broken
down, and which is unfortified, so is a man who does anything without
counsel.
26
(ⲁ̅)
(1) As dew in harvest, and as rain in
summer, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) As birds and sparrows fly, so a
curse shall not come upon any one without a cause.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) As a whip for a horse, and a goad
for an ass, so is a rod for a simple nation.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Answer not a fool according to his
folly, lest thou become like him.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Yet answer a fool according to his
folly, lest he seem wise in his own conceit.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) He that sends a message by a
foolish messenger procures for himself a reproach from his own ways.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) As well take away the motion of
the legs, as transgression from the mouth of fools.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) He that binds up a stone in a
sling, is like one that gives glory to a fool.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Thorns grow in the hand of a
drunkard, and servitude in the hand of fools.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) All the flesh of fools endures
much hardship; for their fury is brought to nought.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) As when a dog goes to his own
vomit, and becomes abominable, so is fool who returns in his wickedness
to his own sin. (11a) There is a shame
that brings sin: and there is a shame that is glory and grace.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) I have seen a man who seemed to
himself to be wise; but a fool had more hope than he.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) A sluggard when sent on a journey
says, There is a lion in the ways, and there are murderers in the
streets.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) As a door turns on the hinge, so
does a sluggard on his bed.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) A sluggard having hid his hand in
his bosom, will not be able to bring it up to his mouth.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) A sluggard seems to himself wiser
than one who most satisfactorily brings back a message.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) As he that lays hold of a dog’s
tail, so is he that makes himself the champion of another’s cause.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) As those who need correction put
forth fair words to men, and he that first falls in with the proposal
will be overthrown;
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) so are all that lay wait for
their own friends, and when they are discovered, say, I did it in jest.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) With much wood fire increases;
but where there is not a double-minded man, strife ceases.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) A hearth for coals, and wood for
fire; and railing man for the tumult of strife.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) The words of cunning knaves are
soft; but they smite even to the inmost parts of the bowels.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Silver dishonestly given is to be
considered as a potsherd: smooth lips cover a grievous heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) A weeping enemy promises all
things with his lips, but in his heart he contrives deceit.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Though thine enemy intreat thee
with a loud voice, consent not: for there are seven abominations in his
heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) He that hides enmity frames
deceit: but being easily discerned, exposes his own sins in the public
assemblies.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) He that digs a pit for his
neighbour shall fall into it: and he that rolls a stone, rolls it upon
himself.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) A lying tongue hates the truth;
and an unguarded mouth causes tumults.
27
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Boast not of to-morrow; for thou
knowest not what the next day shall bring forth.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Let thy neighbour, and not thine
own mouth, praise thee; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) A stone is heavy, and sand
cumbersome; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than both.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Wrath is merciless, and anger
sharp: but envy can bear nothing.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Open reproofs are better than
secret love.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) The wounds of a friend are more to
be trusted than the spontaneous kisses of an enemy.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) A full soul scorns honeycombs; but
to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) As when a bird flies down from its
own nest, so a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself
from his own place.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The heart delights in ointments
and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Thine own friend, and thy
father’s friend, forsake not; and when thou art in distress go not into
thy brother’s house: better is a friend that is near than a brother
living far off.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Son, be wise, that thy heart may
rejoice; and remove thou from thyself reproachful words.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) A wise man, when evils are
approaching, hides himself; but fools pass on, and will be punished.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Take away the man’s garment, (for
a scorner has passed by) whoever lays waste another’s goods.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Whosoever shall bless a friend in
the morning with a loud voice, shall seem to differ nothing from one who
curses him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) On a stormy day drops of rain
drive a man out of his house; so also does a railing woman drive a man
out of his own house.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) The north wind is sharp, but it
is called by name propitious.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Iron sharpens iron; and a man
sharpens his friend’s countenance.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) He that plants a fig-tree shall
eat the fruits of it: so he that waits on his own master shall be
honoured.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) As faces are not like other
faces, so neither are the thoughts of men.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Hell and destruction are not
filled; so also are the eyes of men insatiable. (20a) He that fixes his eye is an abomination to
the Lord; and the uninstructed do not restrain their tongue.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Fire is the trial for silver and
gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him.
(21a) The heart of the transgressor
seeks after mischiefs; but an upright heart seeks knowledge.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Though thou scourge a fool,
disgracing him in the midst of the council, thou wilt still in no wise
remove his folly from him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Do thou thoroughly know the
number of thy flock, and pay attention to thine herds.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) For a man has not strength and
power for ever; neither does he transmit it from generation to
generation.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Take care of the herbage in the
field, and thou shalt cut grass, and gather the mountain hay;
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) that thou mayest have wool of
sheep for clothing: pay attention to the land, that thou mayest have
lambs.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) My son, thou hast from me words
very useful for thy life, and for the life of thy servants.
28
(ⲁ̅)
(1) The ungodly man flees when no one
pursues: but the righteous is confident as a lion.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) By reason of the sins of ungodly
men quarrels arise; but a wise man will quell them.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) A bold man oppresses the poor by
ungodly deeds. As an impetuous and profitable rain,
(ⲇ̅)
(4) so they that forsake the law
praise ungodliness; but they that love the law fortify themselves with a
wall.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Evil men will not understand
judgment: but they that seek the Lord will understand everything.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) A poor man walking in truth is
better than a rich liar.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) A wise son keeps the law: but he
that keeps up debauchery dishonours his father.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) He that increases his wealth by
usuries and unjust gains, gathers it for him that pities the poor.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) He that turns away his ear from
hearing the law, even he has made his prayer abominable.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) He that causes upright men to err
in an evil way, himself shall fall into destruction: transgressor also
shall pass by prosperity, but shall not enter into it.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) A rich man is wise in his own
conceit; but an intelligent poor man will condemn him.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) By reason of the help of
righteous men great glory arises: but in the places of the ungodly men
are caught.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) He that covers his own
ungodliness shall not prosper: but he that blames himself shall be loved.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Blessed is the man who
religiously fears always: but the hard of heart shall fall into
mischiefs.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf
is he, who, being poor, rules over a poor nation.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) A king in need of revenues is a
great oppressor: but he that hates injustice shall live a long time.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) He that becomes surety for a man
charged with murder shall be an exile, and not in safety. (17a) Chasten thy son, and he shall love thee, and
give honour to thy soul: he shall not obey a sinful nation.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) He that walks justly is assisted:
but he that walks in crooked ways shall be entangled therein.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) He that tills his own land shall
be satisfied with bread: but he that follows idleness shall have plenty
of poverty.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) A man worthy of credit shall be
much blessed: but the wicked shall not be unpunished.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) He that reverences not the
persons of the just is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel
of bread.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) An envious man makes haste to be
rich, and knows not that the merciful man will have the mastery over him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) He that reproves a man’s ways
shall have more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) He that casts off father or
mother, and thinks he sins not; the same is partaker with an ungodly man.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) An unbelieving man judges rashly:
but he that trusts in the Lord will act carefully.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) He that trusts to a bold heart,
such an one is a fool: but he that walks in wisdom shall be safe.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) He that gives to the poor shall
not be in want: but he that turns away his eye from him shall be in great
distress.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) In the places of ungodly men the
righteous mourn: but in their destruction the righteous shall be
multiplied.
29
(ⲁ̅)
(1) A reprover is better than a
stiff-necked man: for when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there
shall be no remedy.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) When the righteous are praised,
the people will rejoice: but when the ungodly rule, men mourn.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) When a man loves wisdom, his
father rejoices: but he that keeps harlots will waste wealth.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A righteous king establishes a
country: but a transgressor destroys it.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) He that prepares a net in the way
of his own friend, entangles his own feet in it.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) A great snare is spread for a
sinner: but the righteous shall be in joy and gladness.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) A righteous man knows how to judge
for the poor: but the ungodly understands not knowledge; and the poor man
has not an understanding mind.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Lawless men burn down a city: but
wise men turn away wrath.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) A wise man shall judge nations:
but a worthless man being angry laughs and fears not.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Bloody men hate a holy person,
but the upright will seek his soul.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) A fool utters all is mind: but
the wise reserves his in part.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) When a king hearkens to unjust
language, all his subjects are transgressors.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) When the creditor and debtor meet
together, the Lord oversees them both.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) When a king judges the poor in
truth, his throne shall be established for a testimony.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Stripes and reproofs give wisdom:
but an erring child disgraces his parents.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) When the ungodly abound, sins
abound: but when they fall, the righteous are warned.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Chasten thy son, and he shall
give thee rest; and he shall give honour to thy soul.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) There shall be no interpreter to
a sinful nation: but he that observes the law is blessed.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) A stubborn servant will not be
reproved by words: for even if he understands, still he will not obey.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) If thou see a man hasty in his
words, know that the fool has hope rather than he.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) He that lives wantonly from a
child, shall be a servant, and in the end shall grieve over himself.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) A furious man stirs up strife,
and a passionate man digs up sin.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Pride brings a man low, but the
Lord upholds the humble-minded with honour.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) He that shares with a thief,
hates his own soul: and if any having heard an oath uttered tell not of
it,
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) they fearing and reverencing men
unreasonably have been overthrown, but he that trusts in the Lord shall
rejoice. Ungodliness causes a man to stumble: but he that trusts in his
master shall be safe.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Many wait on the favour of
rulers; but justice comes to a man from the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) A righteous man is an abomination
to an unrighteous man, and the direct way is an abomination to the
sinner.

(31:10) Who shall find a virtuous

(31:11) The heart of her husband
trusts in her: such a one shall stand in no need of fine spoils.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲓ̅ⲃ̅) ⲥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ

(31:12) For she employs all her living
for her husband’s good.

ϣⲁⲥⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲛ̀ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⲛ̀ϣⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲥϫⲓϫ
(31:13) Gathering wool and flax, she
makes it serviceable with her hands.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲓ̅ⲇ̅) ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̀ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩϫⲟⲓ

(31:14) She is like a ship trading
from a distance: so she procures her livelihood.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲓ̅ⲉ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲥⲧⲱⲛⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲉ̀ϫⲱⲣϩ
ϣⲁⲥϯϧⲣⲉ ⲛ̀ⲛⲁ ⲡⲉⲥⲏⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̀ⲛⲉⲥⲃⲱⲕⲓ
(31:15) And she rises by night, and
gives food to her household, and appointed tasks to her maidens.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲓ̅ⲋ̅) ⲁⲥϣⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉ̀ⲟⲩⲓ ⲉ̀ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓ

(31:16) She views a farm, and buys it:
and with the fruit of her hands she plants and a possession.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲓ̅ⲍ̅) ϣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉⲥϯⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ
ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛ̀ⲛⲉⲥϫⲫⲟⲓ ⲉ̀ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ
(31:17) She strongly girds her loins,
and strengthens her arms for work.

ⲡⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙ̀ⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲥϧⲏⲃⲥ ϭⲉⲛⲟ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ
(31:18) And she finds by experience
that working is good; and her candle goes not out all night.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲓ̅ⲑ̅) ⲛⲉⲥϫⲓϫ ϣⲁⲥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛⲟⲩ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ
ⲉ̀ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲥⲙⲁϩⲓ ϣⲁⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉ̀ⲟⲩⲙⲃⲁⲓ
(31:19) She reaches forth her arms to
needful works, and applies her hands to the spindle.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅) ϣⲁⲥⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛ̀ⲧⲟⲧⲥ ⲙ̀ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϧⲁⲉ
ⲡⲉⲥⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲉ̀ⲛⲓϩⲏⲕⲓ
(31:20) And she opens her hands to the
needy, and reaches out fruit to the poor.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(31:21) Her husband is not anxious
about those at home when he tarries anywhere abroad: for all her
household are clothed.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(31:22) She makes for her husband
clothes of double texture, and garments for herself of fine linen and
scarlet.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(31:23) And her husband becomes a
distinguished person in the gates, when he sits in council with the old
inhabitants of the land.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(31:24) She makes fine linens, and
sells girdles to the Chananites: she opens her mouth heedfully and with
propriety, and controls her tongue.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲋ̅) (ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(31:25) She puts on strength and
honour; and rejoices in the last days. (31:27) The ways of her household are careful, and
she eats not the bread of idleness.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(31:26) But she opens her mouth
wisely, and according to law.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(31:28) And her kindness to them sets
up her children for them, and they grow rich, and her husband praises
her.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(31:29) Many daughters have obtained
wealth, many have wrought valiantly; but thou hast exceeded, thou hast
surpassed all.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲗ̅)
(31:30) Charms are false, and woman’s
beauty is vain: for it is a wise woman that is blessed, and let her
praise the fear the Lord.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅:ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31:31) Give her of the fruit of her
lips; and let her husband be praised in the gates.

(1) The words of the Preacher, the son

(2) Vanity of vanities, said the
Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) What advantage is there to a man

(ⲇ̅)
(4) A generation goes, and a

(ⲉ̅)
(5) And the sun arises, and the sun
goes down and draws toward its place;
(ⲋ̅)
(6) arising there it proceeds
southward, and goes round toward the north. The wind goes round and
round, and the wind returns to its circuits.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) All the rivers run into the sea;
and yet the sea is not filled: to the place whence the rivers come,
thither they return again.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) All things are full of labour; a
man will not be able to speak of them: neither shall the eye be satisfied
with seeing, neither shall the ear be filled with hearing.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) What is that which has been? the
very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very
thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Who is he that shall speak and
say, Behold, this is new? it has already been in the ages that have
passed before us.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) There is no memorial to the first
things; neither to the things that have been last shall their memorial be
with them that shall at the last time.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) I the Preacher was king over
Israel in Jerusalem.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And I applied my heart to seek
out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under
heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be
troubled therewith.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) I beheld all the works that were
wrought under the sun; and, beheld, all were vanity and waywardness of
spirit.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) That which is crooked cannot be
made straight: and deficiency cannot be numbered.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) I spoke in my heart, saying,
Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were
before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and
knowledge.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And my heart knew much—wisdom,
and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is
waywardness of spirit.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For in the abundance of wisdom is
abundance of knowledge; and he that increases knowledge will increase
sorrow.
2
(ⲁ̅)
(1) I said in my heart, Come now, I
will prove thee with mirth, and behold thou good: and, behold, this is
also vanity.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) I said to laughter, Madness: and
to mirth, Why doest thou this:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And I examined whether my heart
would excite my flesh as with wine, (though my heart guided me in
wisdom,) and I desired to lay hold of mirth, until I should see of what
kind is the good to the sons of men, which they should do under the sun
all the days of their life.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) I enlarged my work; I built me
houses; I planted me vineyards.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) I made me gardens and orchards,
and planted in them every kind of fruit-tree.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) I made me pools of water, to water
from them the timber-bearing wood.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) I got servants and maidens, and
servants were born to me in the house: also I had abundant possession of
flocks and herds, beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Moreover I collected for myself
both silver and gold also, and the peculiar treasures of kings and
provinces: I procured me singing men and singing women, and delights of
the sons of men, a butler and female cupbearers.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So I became great, and advanced
beyond all that were before in Jerusalem: also my wisdom was established
to me.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And whatever mine eyes desired, I
withheld not from them, I withheld not my heart from all my mirth: for my
heart rejoiced in all my labour; and this was my portion of all my
labour.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) And I looked on all my works
which my hands had wrought, and on my labour which I laboured to perform:
and behold, all was vanity and waywardness of spirit, and there is no
advantage under the sun.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Then I looked on to see wisdom,
and madness, and folly: for who is the man who will follow after counsel,
in all things where in he employs it?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And I saw that wisdom excels
folly, as much as light excels darkness.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) The wise man’s eyes are in his
head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I perceived, even I, that one
event shall happen to them all.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And I said in my heart, As the
event of the fool is, so shall it be to me, even to me: and to what
purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also
vanity, because the fool speaks of his abundance.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For there is no remembrance of
the wise man with the fool for ever; forasmuch as now in the coming days
all things are forgotten: and how shall the wise man die with the fool?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) So I hated life; because the work
that was wrought under the sun was evil before me: for all is vanity and
waywardness of spirit.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And I hated the whole of my
labour which I took under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who
will come after me.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And who knows whether he will be
a wise man or a fool? and whether he will have power over all my labour
in which I laboured, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? this is also
vanity.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) so I went about to dismiss from
my heart all my labour wherein I had laboured under the sun.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) For there is such a man that his
labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; yet this man
shall give his portion to one who has not laboured therein. This is also
vanity and great evil.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) For it happens to a man in all
his labour, and in the purpose of his heart wherein he labours under the
sun.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For all his days are days of
sorrows, and vexation of spirit is his; in the night also his heart rests
not. This is also vanity.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) A man has nothing really good to
eat, and to drink, and to shew his soul as good in his trouble. This also
I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) For who shall eat, or who shall
drink, without him?
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) For God has given to the man who
is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but he has given to
the sinner trouble, to add and to heap up, that he may give to him that
is good before God; for this is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) To all things there is a time, and
a season for every matter under heaven.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A time of birth, and a time to
die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what has been planted;
(ⲅ̅)
(3) a time to kill, and a time to
heal; a time to pull down, and a time to build up;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) a time to weep, and a time to
laugh; a time to lament, and a time to dance;
(ⲉ̅)
(5) a time to throw stones, and a time
to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to abstain from
embracing;
(ⲋ̅)
(6) a time to seek, and a time to
lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
(ⲍ̅)
(7) a time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to be silent, and a time to speak;
(ⲏ̅)
(8) a time to love, and a time to
hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) What advantage has he that works
in those things wherein he labours?
(ⲓ̅)
(10) I have seen all the trouble,
which God has given to the sons of men to be troubled with.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) All the things which he has made
are beautiful in his time: he has also set the whole world in their
heart, that man might not find out the work which God has wrought from
the beginning even to the end.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) I know that there is no good in
them, except for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Also in the case of every man who
shall eat and drink, and see good in all his labour, this is a gift of
God.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) I know that whatsoever things God
has done, they shall be for ever: it is impossible to add to it, and it
is impossible to take away from it: and God has done it, that men may
fear before him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) That which has been is now; and
whatever things are appointed to be have already been; and God will seek
out that which is past.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And moreover I saw under the sun
the place of judgment, there was the ungodly one; and the place of
righteousness, there was the godly one.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And I said in my heart, God will
judge the righteous and the ungodly: for there is a time there for every
action and for every work.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) I said in my heart, concerning
the speech of the sons of man, God will judge them, and that to shew that
they are breasts.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Also to them is the event of the
sons of man, and the event of the brute; one event befalls them: as is
the death of the one, so also the death of the other; and there is one
breath to all: and what has the man more than the brute? nothing; for all
is vanity.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) All go to one place; all were
formed of the dust, and all will return to dust.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And who has seen the spirit of
the sons of man, whether it goes upward? and the spirit of the beast,
whether it goes downward to the earth?
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) And I saw that there was no good,
but that wherein a man shall rejoice in his works, for it is his portion,
for who shall bring him to see any thing of that which shall be after
him?
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) So I returned, and saw all the
oppressions that were done under the sun: and behold the tear of the
oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of them that
oppressed them was power; but they had no comforter:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) and I praised all the dead that
had already died more than the living, as many as are alive until now.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Better also than both these is he
who has not yet been, who has not seen all the evil work that is done
under the sun.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And I saw all labour, and all the
diligent work, that this is a man’s envy from his neighbour. This is also
vanity and waywardness of spirit.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The fool folds his hands together,
and eats his own flesh.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Better is a handful of rest than
two handfuls of trouble and waywardness of spirit.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) So I returned, and saw vanity
under the sun.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) There is one alone, and there is
not a second; yea, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to
all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do
I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil
trouble.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Two are better than one, seeing
they have a good reward for their labour.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For if they fall, the one will
lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls, and there
is not a second to lift him up.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Also if two should lie together,
they also get heat: but how shall one be warmed alone?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And if one should prevail against
him, the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord shall not be
quickly broken.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Better is a poor and wise child
than an old and foolish king, who knows not how to take heed any longer.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For he shall come forth out of
the house of the prisoners to reign, because he also that was in his
kingdom has become poor.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) I beheld all the living who were
walking under the sun, with the second youth who shall stand up in each
one’s place.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) There is no end to all the
people, to all who were before them: and the last shall not rejoice in
him: for this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Keep thy foot, whensoever thou
goest to the house of God; and when thou art near to hear, let thy
sacrifice be better than the gift of fools: for they know not that they
are doing evil.
5
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Be not hasty with thy mouth, and
let not thine heart be swift to utter anything before God; for God is in
heaven above, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For through the multitude of trial
a dream comes; and a fool’s voice is with a multitude of words.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Whenever thou shalt vow a vow to
God, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay thou
therefore whatsoever thou shalt have vowed.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) It is better that thou shouldest
not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Suffer not thy mouth to lead thy
flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error: lest
God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the works of thy hands.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For there is evil in a multitude
of dreams and vanities and many words: but fear thou God.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) If thou shouldest see the
oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in
the land, wonder not at the matter: for there is a high one to watch over
him that is high, and high ones over them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Also the abundance of the earth is
for every one: the king is dependent on the tilled field.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) He that loves silver shall not be
satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof?
this is also vanity.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) In the multitude of good they are
increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of
beholding it with his eyes?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The sleep of a servant is sweet,
whether he eat little or much: but to one who is satiated with wealth,
there is none that suffers him to sleep.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) There is an infirmity which I
have seen under the sun, namely, wealth kept for its owner to his hurt.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And that wealth shall perish in
an evil trouble: and the man begets a son, and there is nothing in his
hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) As he came forth naked from his
mother’s womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive
nothing for his labour, that it should go with him in his hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And this is also an evil
infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain,
for which he vainly labours?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Yea, all his days are in
darkness, and in mourning, and much sorrow, and infirmity, and wrath.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Behold, I have seen good, that it
is a fine thing for a man to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his
labour in which he may labour under the sun, all the number of the days
of his life which God has given to him: for it is his portion.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Yea, and as for every man to whom
God has given wealth and possessions, and has given him power to eat
thereof, and to receive his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this
is the gift of God.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) For he shall not much remember
the days of his life; for God troubles him in the mirth of his heart.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) There is an evil which I have seen
under the sun, and it is abundant with man:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) a man to whom God shall give
wealth, and substance, and honour, and he wants nothing for his soul of
all things that he shall desire, yet God shall not give him power to eat
of it, for a stranger shall devour it: this is vanity, and an evil
infirmity.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) If a man beget a hundred children,
and live many years, yea, however abundant the days of his years shall
be, yet if his soul shall not be satisfied with good, and also he have no
burial; I said, An untimely birth is better than he.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For he came in vanity, and departs
in darkness, and his name shall be covered in darkness.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Moreover he has not seen the sun,
nor known rest: there is no more rest to this one than another.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Though he has lived to the return
of a thousand years, yet he has seen no good: do not all go to one place?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) All the labour of a man is for his
mouth, and yet the appetite shall not be satisfied.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For what advantage has the wise
man over the fool, since even the poor knows how to walk in the direction
of life?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The sight of the eyes is better
than that which wanders in soul: this is also vanity, and waywardness of
spirit.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) If anything has been, its name
has already been called: and it is known what man is; neither can he
contend with him who is stronger than he.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For there are many things which
increase vanity.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) What advantage has a man? for who
knows what is good for a man in his life, during the number of the life
of the days of his vanity? and he has spent them as a shadow; for who
shall tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A good name is better than good
oil; and the day of death than the day of birth.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) It is better to go to the house of
mourning, than to go to the banquet house: since this is the end of every
man; and the living man will apply good warning to his heart.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Sorrow is better than laughter:
for by the sadness of the countenance the heart will be made better.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The heart of the wise is in the
house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) It is better to hear a reproof of
a wise man, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) As the sound of thorns under a
caldron, so is the laughter of fools: this is also vanity.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) for oppression makes a wise man
mad, and destroys his noble heart.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The end of a matter is better than
the beginning thereof: the patient is better than the high-minded.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Be not hasty in thy spirit to be
angry: for anger will rest in the bosom of fools.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Say not, What has happened, that
the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire in
wisdom concerning this.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Wisdom is good with an
inheritance: and there is an advantage by it to them that see the sun.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For wisdom in its shadow is as
the shadow of silver: and the excellence of the knowledge of wisdom will
give life to him that has it.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Behold the works of God: for who
shall be able to straighten him whom God has made crooked?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) In the day of prosperity live
joyfully, and consider in the day of adversity: consider, I say, God also
has caused the one to agree with the other for this reason, that man
should find nothing after him.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) I have seen all things in the
days of my vanity: there is a just man perishing in his justice, and
there is an ungodly man remaining in his wickedness.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Be not very just; neither be very
wise: lest thou be confounded.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Be not very wicked; and be not
stubborn: lest thou shouldest die before thy time.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) It is well for thee to hold fast
by this; also by this defile not thine hand: for to them that fear God
all things shall come forth well.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Wisdom will help the wise man
more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) For there is not a righteous man
in the earth, who will do good, and not sin
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Also take no heed to all the
words which ungodly men shall speak; lest thou hear thy servant cursing
thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For many times he shall trespass
against thee, and repeatedly shall he afflict thine heart; for thus also
hast thou cursed others.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) All these things have I proved in
wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) That which is far beyond what
was, and a great depth, who shall find it out?
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) I and my heart went round about
to know, and to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account of things,
and to know the folly and trouble and madness of the ungodly man.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) And I find her to be, and I will
pronounce to be more bitter than death the woman which is a snare, and
her heart nets, who has a band in her hands: he that is good in the sight
of God shall be delivered from her; but the sinner shall be caught by
her.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Behold, this have I found, said
the Preacher, seeking by one at a time to find out the account,
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) which my soul sought after, but I
found not: for I have found one man of a thousand; but a woman in all
these I have not found.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) But, behold, this have I found,
that God made man upright; but they have sought out many devices.
(8:1) Who knows the wise? and who
knows the interpretation of a saying?
8
(ⲁ̅)
A man’s wisdom will lighten his countenance; but a man of shameless
countenance will be hated.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Observe the commandment of the
king, and that because of the word of the oath of God.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Be not hasty; thou shalt go forth
out of his presence: stand not in an evil matter; for he will do
whatsoever he shall please,
(ⲇ̅)
(4) even as a king having power: and
who will say to him, What doest thou?
(ⲉ̅)
(5) He that keeps the commandment
shall not know an evil thing: and the heart of the wise knows the time of
judgment.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For to every thing there is time
and judgment; for the knowledge of a man is great to him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For there is no one that knows
what is going to be: for who shall tell him how it shall be?
(ⲏ̅)
(8) There is no man that has power
over the spirit to retain the spirit; and there is no power in the day of
death: and there is no discharge in the day of the battle; neither shall
ungodliness save her votary.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) So I saw all this, and I applied
my heart to every work that has been done under the sun; all the things
wherein man has power over man to afflict him.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And then I saw the ungodly
carried into the tombs, and that out of the holy place: and they
departed, and were praised in the city, because they had done thus: this
also is vanity.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Because there is no contradiction
made on the part of those who do evil quickly, therefore the heart of the
children of men is fully determined in them to do evil.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) He that has sinned has done evil
from that time, and long from beforehand: nevertheless I know, that it is
well with them that fear God, that they may fear before him:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) but it shall not be well with the
ungodly, and he shall not prolong his days, which are as a shadow;
forasmuch as he fears not before God.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) There is a vanity which is done
upon the earth; that there are righteous persons to whom it happens
according to the doing of the ungodly; and there are ungodly men, to whom
it happens according to the doing of the just: I said, This is also
vanity.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Then I praised mirth, because
there is no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be
merry: and this shall attend him in his labour all the days of his life,
which God has given him under the sun.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Whereupon I set my heart to know
wisdom, and to perceive the trouble that was wrought upon the earth: for
there is that neither by day nor night sees sleep with his eyes.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And I beheld all the works of
God, that a man shall not be able to discover the work which is wrought
under the sun; whatsoever things a man shall endeavour to seek, however a
man may labour to seek it, yet he shall not find it; yea, how much soever
a wise man may speak of knowing it, he shall not be able to find it: for
I applied all this to my heart, and my heart has seen all this.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) I saw that the righteous, and the
wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: yea, there is no man that
knows either love or hatred, though all are before their face.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Vanity is in all: there is one
event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad;
both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to
him that sacrifice not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the
swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) There is this evil in all that is
done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea, the heart of the
sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during
their life, and after that they go to the dead.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) for who is he that has fellowship
with all the living? there is hope of him: for a living dog is better
than a dead lion.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For the living will know that they
shall die: but the dead know nothing, and there is no longer any reward
to them; for their memory is lost.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) also their love, and their hatred,
and their envy, have now perished; yea, there is no portion for them any
more for ever in all that is done under the sun.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Go, eat thy bread with mirth, and
drink thy wine with a joyful heart; for now God has favourably accepted
thy works.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Let thy garments be always white;
and let not oil be wanting on thine head.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And see life with the wife whom
thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which are given thee
under the sun: for that is thy portion in thy life, and in thy labour
wherein thou labourest under the sun.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Whatsoever thine hand shall find
to do, do with all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor
knowledge, nor wisdom, in Hades wither thou goest.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) I returned, and saw under the
sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor
yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet
favour to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them all.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For surely man also knows not his
time: as fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as birds that are
caught in a snare; even thus the sons of men are snared at an evil time,
when it falls suddenly upon them.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) This I also saw to be wisdom
under the sun, and it is great before me:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) suppose there were a little city,
and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and
surround it, and build great mounds against it;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) and should find in it a poor wise
man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would
remember that poor man.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And I said Wisdom is better than
power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nought, and his words not
listened to.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) The words of the wise are heard
in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Wisdom is better than weapons of
war: and one sinner will destroy much good.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Pestilent flies will corrupt a
preparation of sweet ointment: and a little wisdom is more precious than
great glory of folly.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A wise man’s heart is at his right
hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Yea, and whenever a fool walks by
the way, his heart will fail him, and all that he thinks of is folly.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) If the spirit of the ruler rise up
against thee, leave not thy place; for soothing will put an end to great
offences.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) There is an evil which I have seen
under the sun, wherein an error has proceeded from the ruler.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) The fool has been set in very high
places, while rich men would sit in a low one.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) I have seen servants upon horses,
and princes walking as servants on the earth.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) He that digs a pit shall fall into
it; and him that breaks down a hedge a serpent shall bite.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) He that removes stones shall be
troubled thereby; he that cleaves wood shall be endangered thereby.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) If the axe-head should fall off,
then the man troubles his countenance, and he must put forth more
strength: and in that case skill is of no advantage to a man.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) If a serpent bite when there is
no charmer’s whisper, then there is no advantage to the charmer.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) The words of a wise mouth are
gracious: but the lips of a fool will swallow him up.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The beginning of the words of his
mouth is folly: and the end of his talk mischievous madness.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) A fool moreover multiplies words:
man knows not what has been, nor what will be: who shall tell him what
will come after him?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) The labour of fools will afflict
them, as that of one who knows not to go to the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Woe to thee, O city, whose king
is young, and thy princes eat in the morning!
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Blessed art thou, O land, whose
king is a son of nobles, and whose princes shall eat seasonably, for
strength, and shall not be ashamed.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) By slothful neglect a building
will be brought low: and by idleness of the hands the house will fall to
pieces.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Men prepare bread for laughter,
and wine and oil that the living should rejoice: but to money all things
will humbly yield obedience.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Even in thy conscience, curse not
the king; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air
shall carry thy voice, and that which has wings shall report thy speech.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Send forth thy bread upon the face
of the water: for thou shalt find it after many days.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Give a portion to seven, and also
to eight; for thou knowest not what evil there shall be upon the earth.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) If the clouds be filled with rain,
they pour it out upon the earth: and if a tree fall southward, or if it
fall northward, in the place where the tree shall fall, there it shall
be.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) He that observes the wind sows
not; and he that looks at the clouds will not reap.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Among whom none knows what is the
way of the wind: as the bones are hid in the womb of a pregnant woman, so
thou shalt not know the works of God, even all things whatsoever he shall
do.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) In the morning sow thy seed, and
in the evening let not thine hand be slack: for thou knowest not what
sort shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether both shall be good
alike.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Moreover the light is sweet, and
it is good for the eyes to see the sun.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For even if a man should live many
years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of
darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Rejoice, O young man, in thy
youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in
the ways of thy heart blameless, but not in the sight of thine eyes: yet
know that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Therefore remove sorrow from thy
heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for youth and folly are vanity.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And remember thy Creator in the
days of thy youth, before the days of evil come, and the years overtake
thee in which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) While the sun and light are not
darkened, nor the moon and the stars; nor the clouds return after the
rain:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) in the day wherein the keepers of
the house shall tremble, and the mighty men shall become bent, and the
grinding women cease because they have become few, and the women looking
out at the windows be dark;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) and they shall shut the doors in
the market-place, because of the weakness of the voice of her that grinds
at the mill; and he shall rise up at the voice of the sparrow, and all
the daughters of song shall be brought low;
(ⲉ̅)
(5) and they shall look up, and fears
shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the locust
shall increase, and the caper shall be scattered: because man has gone to
his eternal home, and the mourners have gone about the market:
(ⲋ̅)
(6) before the silver cord be let go,
or the choice gold be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain,
or the wheel run down to the cistern;
(ⲍ̅)
(7) before the dust also return to the
earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Vanity of vanities, said the
Preacher; all is vanity.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And because the Preacher was wise
above others, so it was that he taught man excellent knowledge, and the
ear will trace out the parables.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) The Preacher sought diligently to
find out acceptable words, and a correct writing, even words of truth.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The words of the wise are as
goads, and as nails firmly fastened, which have been given from one
shepherd by agreement.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And moreover, my son, guard
thyself by means of them: of making many books there is no end; and much
study is a weariness of the flesh.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Hear the end of the matter, the
sun: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole man.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For God will bring every work
into judgment, with everything that has been overlooked, whether it be
good, or whether it be evil.
Song of Songs
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1
(ⲁ̅)
(1) The Song of songs, which is
Solomon’s.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Let him kiss me with the kisses of
his mouth: for thy breasts are better than wine.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And the smell of thine ointments
is better than all spices: thy name is ointment poured forth; therefore
do the young maidens love thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) They have drawn thee: we will run
after thee, for the smell of thine ointments: the king has brought me
into closet: let us rejoice and be glad in thee; we will love thy breasts
more than wine: righteousness loves thee.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) I am black, but beautiful, ye
daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of
Solomon.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Look not upon me, because I am
dark, because the sun has looked unfavourably upon me: my mother’s sons
strove with me; they made me keeper in the vineyards; I have not kept my
own vineyard.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Tell me, thou whom my soul loves,
where thou tendest thy flock, where thou causest them to rest at noon,
lest I become as one that is veiled by the flocks of thy companions.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) If thou know not thyself, thou
fair one among women, go thou forth by the footsteps of the flocks, and
feed thy kids by the shepherd’s tents.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) I have likened thee, my companion,
to my horses in the chariots of Pharao.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) How are thy cheeks beautiful as
those of a dove, thy neck as chains!
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) We will make thee figures of gold
with studs of silver.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So long as the king was at table,
my spikenard gave forth its smell.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) My kinsman is to me a bundle of
myrrh; he shall lie between my breasts.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) My kinsman is to me a cluster of
camphor in the vineyards of Engaddi.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Behold, thou art fair, my
companion; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are doves.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Behold, thou art fair, my
kinsman, yea, beautiful, overshadowing our bed.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) The beams of our house are
cedars, our ceilings are of cypress.
2
(ⲁ̅)
(1) I am a flower of the plain, a lily
of the valleys.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) As a lily among thorns, so is my
companion among the daughters.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) As the apple among the trees of
the wood, so is my kinsman among the sons. I desired his shadow, and sat
down, and his fruit was sweet in my throat.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Bring me into the wine house; set
love before me.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Strengthen me with perfumes, stay
me with apples: for I am wounded with love.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) His left hand shall be under my
head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) I have charged you, ye daughters
of Jerusalem, by the powers and by the virtues of the field, that ye do
not rouse or wake my love, until he please.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The voice of my kinsman! behold,
he comes leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) My kinsman is like a roe or a
young hart on the mountains of Baethel: behold, he is behind our wall,
looking through the windows, peeping through the lattices.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) My kinsman answers, and says to
me, Rise up, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For, behold, the winter is past,
the rain is gone, it has departed.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) The flowers are seen in the land;
the time of pruning has arrived; the voice of the turtle-dove has been
heard in our land.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The fig-tree has put forth its
young figs, the vines put forth the tender grape, they yield a smell:
arise, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove; yea, come.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Thou art my dove, in the shelter
of the rock, near the wall: shew me thy face, and cause me to hear thy
voice; for thy voice is sweet, and thy countenance is beautiful.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Take us the little foxes that
spoil the vines: for our vines put forth tender grapes.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) My kinsman is mine, and I am his:
he feeds his flock among the lilies.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Until the day dawn, and the
shadows depart, turn, my kinsman, be thou like to a roe or young hart on
the mountains of the ravines.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) By night on my bed I sought him
whom my soul loves: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he
hearkened not to me.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) I will rise now, and go about in
the city, in the market-places, and in the streets, and I will seek him
whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I found him not.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The watchmen who go their rounds
in the city found me. I said, Have ye seen him whom my soul loves?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) It was as a little while after I
parted from them, that I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and
did not let him go, until I brought him into my mother’s house, and into
the chamber of her that conceived me.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) I have charged you, O daughters of
Jerusalem, by the powers and by the virtues of the field, that ye rouse
not nor awake my love, until he please.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Who is this that comes up from the
wilderness as pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all powders of the perfumer?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Behold Solomon’s bed; sixty mighty
men of the mighty ones of Israel are round about it.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) They all hold a sword, being
expert in war: every man has his sword upon his thigh because of fear by
night.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) King Solomon made himself a litter
of woods of Lebanon.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) He made the pillars of it silver,
the bottom of it gold, the covering of it scarlet, in the midst of it a
pavement of love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Go forth, ye daughters of Sion,
and behold king Solomon, with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him,
in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Behold, thou art fair, my
companion; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are doves, beside thy veil:
thy hair is as flocks of goats, that have appeared from Galaad.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn
sheep, that have gone up from the washing; all of them bearing twins, and
there is not a barren one among them.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Thy lips are as a thread of
scarlet, and thy speech is comely: like the rind of a pomegranate is thy
cheek without thy veil.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Thy neck is as the tower of David,
that was built for an armoury: a thousand shields hang upon it, and all
darts of mighty men.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Thy two breasts are as two twin
fawns, that feed among the lilies.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Until the day dawn, and the
shadows depart, I will betake me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the
hill of frankincense.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Thou art all fair, my companion,
and there is no spot in thee.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Come from Libanus, my bride, come
from Libanus: thou shalt come and pass from the top of Faith, from the
top of Sanir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the
leopards.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) My sister, my spouse, thou hast
ravished my heart; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes,
with one chain of thy neck.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) How beautiful are thy breasts, my
sister, my spouse! how much more beautiful are thy breasts than wine, and
the smell of thy garments than all spices!
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Thy lips drop honeycomb, my
spouse: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy
garments is as the smell of Libanus.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) My sister, my spouse is a garden
enclosed; a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Thy shoots are a garden of
pomegranates, with the fruit of choice berries; camphor, with spikenard:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅) ⲟⲩϣⲁⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲁⲗⲗⲱⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛ̀ϩⲏⲛⲓ
ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ
(14) spikenard and saffron, calamus
and cinnamon; with all woods of Libanus, myrrh, aloes, with all chief
spices:

(15) a fountain of a garden, and a
well of water springing and gurgling from Libanus.

(1) Let my kinsman come down into his
garden, and eat the fruit of his choice berries. I am come into my
garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spices; I
have eaten my bread with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, O friends, and drink; yea, brethren, drink abundantly.

(2) I sleep, but my heart is awake:
the voice of my kinsman knocks at the door, saying, Open, open to me, my
companion, my sister, my dove, my perfect one: for my head is filled with
dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

I called him, but he answered me not.

(10) My kinsman is white and ruddy,
chosen out from myriads.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) His head is as very fine gold,
his locks are flowing, black as a raven.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) His eyes are as doves, by the
pools of waters, washed with milk, sitting by the pools.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) His cheeks are as bowls of spices
pouring forth perfumes: his lips are lilies, dropping choice myrrh.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) His hands are as turned gold set
with beryl: his belly is an ivory tablet on a sapphire stone.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) His legs are marble pillars set
on golden sockets: his form is as Libanus, choice as the cedars.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) His throat is most sweet, and
altogether desirable. This is my kinsman, and this is my companion, O
daughters of Jerusalem.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Whither is thy kinsman gone, thou
beautiful among women? whither has thy kinsman turned aside? tell us, and
we will seek him with thee.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) My kinsman is gone down to his
garden, to the beds of spice, to feed his flock in the gardens, and to
gather lilies.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) I am my kinsman’s, and my kinsman
is mine, who feeds among the lilies.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Thou art fair, my companion, as
Pleasure, beautiful as Jerusalem, terrible as armies set in array.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Turn away thine eyes from before
me, for they have ravished me: thy hair is as flocks of goats which have
appeared from Galaad.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn
sheep, that have gone up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and
there is none barren among them: thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, and
thy speech is comely.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Thy cheek is like the rind of a
pomegranate, being seen without thy veil.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) There are sixty queens, and eighty
concubines, and maidens without number.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) My dove, my perfect one is one;
she is the only one of her mother; she is the choice of her that bore
her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed,
yea, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Who is this that looks forth as
the morning, fair as the moon, choice as the sun, terrible as armies set
in array?
(ⲓ̅)
(10) I went down to the garden of
nuts, to look at the fruits of the valley, to see if the vine flowered,
if the pomegranates blossomed. (11)
There I will give thee my breasts:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
my soul knew it not: it made me as the chariots of Aminadab.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Return, return, O Sunamite;
return, return, and we will look at thee. What will ye see in the
Sunamite? She comes as bands of armies.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) Thy steps are beautiful in shoes,
O daughter of the prince: the joints of thy thighs are like chains, the
work of the craftsman.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Thy navel is as a turned bowl, not
wanting liquor; thy belly is as a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Thy two breasts are as two twin
fawns.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Thy neck is as an ivory tower;
thine eyes are as pools in Esebon, by the gates of the daughter of many:
thy nose is as the tower of Libanus, looking toward Damascus.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Thy head upon thee is as Carmel,
and the curls of thy hair like scarlet; the king is bound in the
galleries.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) How beautiful art thou, and how
sweet art thou, my love!
(ⲍ̅)
(7) This is thy greatness in thy
delights: thou wast made like a palm tree, and thy breasts to cluster.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) I said, I will go up to the palm
tree, I will take hold of its high boughs: and now shall thy breasts be
as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose of apples;
(ⲑ̅)
(9) and thy throat as good wine, going
well with my kinsman, suiting my lips and teeth.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) I am my kinsman’s, and his desire
is toward me.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Come, my kinsman, let us go forth
into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Let us go early into the
vineyards; let us see if the vine has flowered, if the blossoms have
appeared, if the pomegranates have blossomed; there will I give thee my
breasts.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The mandrakes have given a smell,
and at our doors are all kinds of choice fruits, new and old. O my
kinsman, I have kept them for thee.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) I would that thou, O my kinsman,
wert he that sucked the breasts of my mother; when I found thee without,
I would kiss thee; yea, they should not despise me.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) I would take thee, I would bring
thee into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived
me; I would make thee to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my
pomegranates.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) His left hand should be under my
head, and his right hand should embrace me.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) I have charged you, ye daughters
of Jerusalem, by the virtues of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake
my love, until he please.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Who is this that comes up all
white, leaning on her kinsman? I raised thee up under an apple-tree;
there thy mother brought thee forth; there she that bore thee brought
thee forth.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Set me as a seal upon thy heart,
as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel
as the grave, her shafts are shafts of fire, even the flames thereof.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Much water will not be able to
quench love, and rivers shall not drown it; if a man would give all his
substance for love, men would utterly despise it.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Our sister is little, and has no
breasts; what shall we do for our sister, in the day wherein she shall be
spoken for?
(ⲑ̅)
(9) If she is a wall, let us build
upon her silver bulwarks; and if she is a door, let us carve for her
cedar panels.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) I am a wall, and my breasts are
as towers; I was in their eyes as one that found peace.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Solomon had a vineyard in
Beelamon; he let his vineyard to keepers; every one was to bring for its
fruit a thousand pieces of silver.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) My vineyard, even mine, is before
me; Solomon shall have a thousand, and they that keep its fruit two
hundred.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Thou that dwellest in the
gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: make me hear it.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Away, my kinsman, and be like a
doe or a fawn on the mountains of spices.

(1) Love righteousness, ye that be
judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in
simplicity of heart seek him.

(5) For the holy spirit of discipline
will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without
understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.

(6) For wisdom is a loving spirit; and
will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his
reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

(7) For the Spirit of the Lord filleth
the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the
voice.

unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it
punisheth, pass by him.

(9) For inquisition shall be made into
the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto
the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For the ear of jealousy heareth
all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Therefore beware of murmuring,
which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there
is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that
belieth slayeth the soul.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Seek not death in the error of
your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of
your hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For God made not death: neither
hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For he created all things, that
they might have their being: and the generations of the world were
healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom
of death upon the earth:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) (For righteousness is immortal:)
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) But ungodly men with their works
and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their
friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because
they are worthy to take part with it.
2
(ⲁ̅)
(1) For the ungodly said, reasoning
with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in
the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to
have returned from the grave.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For we are born at all adventure:
and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in
our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Which being extinguished, our body
shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And our name shall be forgotten in
time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall
pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that
is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat
thereof.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For our time is a very shadow that
passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast
sealed, so that no man cometh again.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Come on therefore, let us enjoy
the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures
like as in youth.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Let us fill ourselves with costly
wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Let us crown ourselves with
rosebuds, before they be withered:
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Let none of us go without his part
of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every
place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Let us oppress the poor righteous
man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of
the aged.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Let our strength be the law of
justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth.

(12) Therefore let us lie in wait for
the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary
to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth
to our infamy the transgressings of our education.

(15) He is grievous unto us even to

fashion.

(16) We are esteemed of him as
counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he
pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that
God is his father.

(22) As for the mysteries of God, they
knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor
discerned a reward for blameless souls.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For God created man to be
immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) Nevertheless through envy of the
devil came death into the world:
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
and they that do hold of his side do find it.
3
(ⲁ̅)
(1) But the souls of the righteous are
in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) In the sight of the unwise they
seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And their going from us to be
utter destruction: but they are in peace.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For though they be punished in the
sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And having been a little
chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found
them worthy for himself.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) As gold in the furnace hath he
tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And in the time of their
visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the
stubble.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) They shall judge the nations, and
have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) They that put their trust in him
shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide
with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his
elect.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But the ungodly shall be punished
according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous,
and forsaken the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For whoso despiseth wisdom and
nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours
unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Their wives are foolish, and
their children wicked:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Their offspring is cursed.
Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known
the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And blessed is the eunuch, which
with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things
against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and
an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) For glorious is the fruit of good
labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) As for the children of
adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an
unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For though they live long, yet
shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without
honour.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Or, if they die quickly, they
have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) For horrible is the end of the
unrighteous generation.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Better it is to have no children,
and to have virtue: for the memorial thereof is immortal: because it is
known with God, and with men.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) When it is present, men take
example at it; and when it is gone, they desire it: it weareth a crown,
and triumpheth for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for
undefiled rewards.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But the multiplying brood of the
ungodly shall not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor
lay any fast foundation.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For though they flourish in
branches for a time; yet standing not last, they shall be shaken with the
wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The imperfect branches shall be
broken off, their fruit unprofitable, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for
nothing.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For children begotten of unlawful
beds are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) But though the righteous be
prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For honourable age is not that
which standeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of
years.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) But wisdom is the gray hair unto
men, and an unspotted life is old age.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) He pleased God, and was beloved
of him: so that living among sinners he was translated.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Yea speedily was he taken away,
lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile
his soul.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For the bewitching of naughtiness
doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence
doth undermine the simple mind.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) He, being made perfect in a short
time, fulfilled a long time:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For his soul pleased the Lord:
therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) This the people saw, and
understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his
grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his
chosen.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Thus the righteous that is dead
shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon
perfected the many years and old age of the unrighteous.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For they shall see the end of the
wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of
him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) They shall see him, and despise
him; but God shall laugh them to scorn:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach among the dead
for evermore. (19) For he shall rend
them, and cast them down headlong, that they shall be speechless; and he
shall shake them from the foundation; and they shall be utterly laid
waste, and be in sorrow; and their memorial shall perish.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And when they cast up the
accounts of their sins, they shall come with fear: and their own
iniquities shall convince them to their face.

(3) And they repenting and groaning
for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we
had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach:
(ⲇ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϫⲉ ϥⲗⲓⲃⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ

(4) We fools accounted his life
madness, and his end to be without honour:

(6) Therefore have we erred from the
way of truth, and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto us, and
the sun of righteousness rose not upon us.

(7) We wearied ourselves in the way of
wickedness and destruction: yea, we have gone through deserts, where
there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it.
(ⲏ̅) ⲛ̀ⲧⲁⲥϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ

(8) What hath pride profited us? or
what good hath riches with our vaunting brought us?
(ⲑ̅) ⲁⲛⲓ̀ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲓⲛⲓ ⲛ̀ⲑⲉ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩϧⲁⲓⲃⲉⲥ
ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛ̀ⲑⲉ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ
(9) All those things are passed away
like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;
(ⲓ̅) ⲛ̀ⲑⲉ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩϫⲟⲓ ⲉϥⲥϫⲏⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲓ
ⲙ̀ⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲑⲏ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲧⲉϥϩⲓⲏ
(10) And as a ship that passeth over
the waves of the water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof
cannot be found, neither the pathway of the keel in the waves;
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛ̀ⲑⲉ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩϩⲁⲗⲏⲧ ⲉ̀ⲁϥϩⲱⲗ
ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ ⲉ̀ⲙⲉⲩϫⲉⲛⲙⲁⲓⲛ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉϥϩⲱⲗ
(11) Or as when a bird hath flown
through the air, there is no token of her way to be found, but the light
air being beaten with the stroke of her wings and parted with the violent
noise and motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterwards no
sign where she went is to be found;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Or like as when an arrow is shot
at a mark, it parteth the air, which immediately cometh together again,
so that a man cannot know where it went through:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅) ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̀ⲛⲉⲛϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ
ⲡⲉⲛϫⲡⲓⲟ ϫⲉ ⲙ̀ⲡⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲓⲛ ⲛ̀ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ϩⲓⲱⲛ
(13) Even so we in like manner, as
soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue
to shew;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
but were consumed in our own wickedness.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) For the hope of the ungodly is
like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is
driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and
there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that
tarrieth but a day.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) But the righteous live for
evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is
with the most High.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) Therefore shall they receive a
glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord’s hand: for with
his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect
them.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) He shall take to him his jealousy
for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of
his enemies.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) He shall put on righteousness as
a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) He shall take holiness for an
invincible shield.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) His severe wrath shall he sharpen
for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) Then shall the right aiming
thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow,
shall they fly to the mark.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) And hailstones full of wrath
shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage
against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up
against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall
lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of
the mighty.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Hear therefore, O ye kings, and
understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Give ear, ye that rule the people,
and glory in the multitude of nations.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For power is given you of the
Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest,
(ⲇ̅)
who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.
(ⲉ̅)
(4) Because, being ministers of his
kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after
the counsel of God;
(ⲋ̅)
(5) Horribly and speedily shall he
come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high
places.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) For mercy will soon pardon the
meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) For he which is Lord over all
shall fear no man’s person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man’s
greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all
alike.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) But a sore trial shall come upon
the mighty.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) Unto you therefore, O kings, do I
speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) For they that keep holiness
holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall
find what to answer.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) Wherefore set your affection upon
my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) Wisdom is glorious, and never
fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of
such as seek her.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) She preventeth them that desire
her, in making herself first known unto them.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) Whoso seeketh her early shall
have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) To think therefore upon her is
perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without
care.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) For she goeth about seeking such
as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways,
and meeteth them in every thought.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) For the very true beginning of
her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) And love is the keeping of her
laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;
(ⲕ̅)
(19) And incorruption maketh us near
unto God:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) Therefore the desire of wisdom
bringeth to a kingdom.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) If your delight be then in
thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people,
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) As for wisdom, what she is, and
how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you:
but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the
knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
( 23 ) Neither will I go with
consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(24) But the multitude of the wise is
the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(25) Receive therefore instruction
through my words, and it shall do you good.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) I myself also am a mortal man,
like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And in my mother’s womb was
fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in
blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And when I was born, I drew in the
common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the
first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) I was nursed in swaddling clothes,
and that with cares.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For there is no king that had any
other beginning of birth.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For all men have one entrance into
life, and the like going out.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Wherefore I prayed, and
understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom
came to me.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) I preferred her before sceptres
and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Neither compared I unto her any
precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand,
and silver shall be counted as clay before her.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) I loved her above health and
beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh
from her never goeth out.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) All good things together came to
me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And I rejoiced in them all,
because wisdom goeth before them: and I knew not that she was the mother
of them.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) I learned diligently, and do
communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For she is a treasure unto men
that never faileth: which they that use become the friends of God, being
commended for the gifts that come from learning.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) God hath granted me to speak as I
would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me:
because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For in his hand are both we and
our words; all wisdom also, and knowledge of workmanship.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For he hath given me certain
knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made,
and the operation of the elements:
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) The beginning, ending, and midst
of the times: the alterations of the turning of the sun, and the change
of seasons:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) The circuits of years, and the
positions of stars:
(ⲕ̅)
(20) The natures of living creatures,
and the furies of wild beasts: the violence of winds, and the reasonings
of men: the diversities of plants and the virtues of roots:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And all such things as are either
secret or manifest, them I know.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) For wisdom, which is the worker
of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one
only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to
hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready
to do good,
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Kind to man, steadfast, sure,
free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going
through all understanding, pure, and most subtil, spirits.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅) ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲕⲓⲙ ⲉ̀ϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉ̀ⲛⲏ

(24) For wisdom is more moving than
any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her
pureness.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅) ⲟⲩϣⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲧϫⲟⲙ ⲙ̀ⲫϯ

ⲉϥϭⲁϧⲉⲙ ϧⲱⲛⲧ ⲉ̀ⲣⲟⲥ
(25) For she is the breath of the
power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the
Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅) ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ

ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ
(26) For she is the brightness of the
everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the
image of his goodness.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅) ⲟⲩ ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲉ̀ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ

(27) And being but one, she can do all
things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all
ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and
prophets.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅) ⲫϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲉⲓ ⲛ̀ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉ̀ⲃⲏⲗ ⲉ̀ⲫⲏ

(28) For God loveth none but him that
dwelleth with wisdom.

(29) For she is more beautiful than
the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light,
she is found before it.
(ⲗ̅) ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉ̀ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲓ ⲉ̀ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ

(30) For after this cometh night: but
vice shall not prevail against wisdom.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Wisdom reacheth from one end to
another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) I loved her, and sought her out
from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her
beauty.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) In that she is conversant with
God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself
loved her
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For she is privy to the mysteries
of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) If riches be a possession to be
desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all
things?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And if prudence work; who of all
that are is a more cunning workman than she?
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And if a man love righteousness
her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence,
justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing
more profitable in their life.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) If a man desire much experience,
she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she
knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she
foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Therefore I purposed to take her
to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good
things, and a comfort in cares and grief.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For her sake I shall have
estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be
young.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) I shall be found of a quick
conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) When I hold my tongue, they shall
bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I
talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Moreover by the means of her I
shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to
them that come after me.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) I shall set the people in order,
and the nations shall be subject unto me.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Horrible tyrants shall be afraid,
when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude,
and valiant in war.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) After I am come into mine house,
I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness;
and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Now when I considered these
things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied
unto wisdom is immortality;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And great pleasure it is to have
her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in
the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a
good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) For I was a witty child, and had
a good spirit.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Yea rather, being good, I came
into a body undefiled.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Nevertheless, when I perceived
that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that
was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the
Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said,
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) O God of my fathers, and Lord of
mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And ordained man through thy
wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast
made,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And order the world according to
equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart:
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Give me wisdom, that sitteth by
thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For I thy servant and son of thine
handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the
understanding of judgment and laws.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For though a man be never so
perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he
shall be nothing regarded.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Thou hast chosen me to be a king
of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Thou hast commanded me to build a
temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou
dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared
from the beginning.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And wisdom was with thee: which
knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew
what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) O send her out of thy holy
heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may
labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For she knoweth and understandeth
all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me
in her power.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So shall my works be acceptable,
and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my
father’s seat.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For what man is he that can know
the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For the thoughts of mortal men
are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) For the corruptible body presseth
down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that
museth upon many things.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And hardly do we guess aright at
things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that
are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) And thy counsel who hath known,
except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For so the ways of them which
lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are
pleasing unto thee, and were saved through wisdom.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) She preserved the first formed
father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his
fall,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And gave him power to rule all
things.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But when the unrighteous went away
from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered
his brother.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For whose cause the earth being
drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the
course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Moreover, the nations in their
wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and
preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender
compassion toward his son.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) When the ungodly perished, she
delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon
the five cities.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Of whose wickedness even to this
day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit
that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument
of an unbelieving soul.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For regarding not wisdom, they gat
not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but
also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so
that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be
hid.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Rut wisdom delivered from pain
those that attended upon her.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) When the righteous fled from his
brother’s wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of
God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels,
and multiplied the fruit of his labours.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) In the covetousness of such as
oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) She defended him from his
enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore
conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is
stronger than all.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) When the righteous was sold, she
forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into
the pit,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And left him not in bonds, till
she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that
oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be
liars, and gave him perpetual glory.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) She delivered the righteous
people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) She entered into the soul of the
servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Rendered to the righteous a
reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto
them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Brought them through the Red sea,
and led them through much water:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) But she drowned their enemies,
and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Therefore the righteous spoiled
the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one
accord thine hand, that fought for them.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) For wisdom opened the mouth of
the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) She prospered their works in the
hand of the holy prophet.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) They went through the wilderness
that was not inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay no
way.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) They stood against their enemies,
and were avenged of their adversaries.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) When they were thirsty, they
called upon thee, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and
their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For by what things their enemies
were punished,
(ⲋ̅)
by the same they in their need were benefited.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) For instead of a fountain of a
perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,
(ⲏ̅)
(7) For a manifest reproof of that
commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them
abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:
(ⲑ̅)
(8) Declaring by that thirst then how
thou hadst punished their adversaries.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) For when they were tried albeit
but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath
and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) For these thou didst admonish and
try, as a father: but the other, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and
punish.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) Whether they were absent or
present, they were vexed alike.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) For a double grief came upon
them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) For when they heard by their own
punishments the other to be benefited, they had some feeling of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) For whom they respected with
scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the
infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) But for the foolish devices of
their wickedness, wherewith being deceived they worshipped serpents void
of reason, and vile beasts, thou didst send a multitude of unreasonable
beasts upon them for vengeance;
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) That they might know, that
wherewithal a man sinneth, by the same also shall he be punished.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) For thy Almighty hand, that made
the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a
multitude of bears or fierce lions,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) Or unknown wild beasts, full of
rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy
scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their
eyes:
(ⲕ̅)
(19) Whereof not only the harm might
dispatch them at once, but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) Yea, and without these might they
have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and
scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered
all things in measure and number and weight.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) For thou canst shew thy great
strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of
thine arm?
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) For the whole world before thee
is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew
that falleth down upon the earth.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) But thou hast mercy upon all; for
thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they
should amend.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(24) For thou lovest all the things
that are, and abhorrest nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest
thou have made any thing, if thou hadst hated it.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(25) And how could any thing have
endured, if it had not been thy will? or been preserved, if not called by
thee?
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(26) But thou sparest all: for they
are thine, O Lord, thou lover of souls.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) For thine incorruptible Spirit is
in all things.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Therefore chastenest thou them by
little and little that offend, and warnest them by putting them in
remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness
they may believe on thee, O Lord.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For it was thy will to destroy by
the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Whom thou hatedst for doing most
odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And also those merciless murderers
of children, and devourers of man’s flesh, and the feasts of blood,
(ⲋ̅)
(6) With their priests out of the
midst of their idolatrous crew, and the parents, that killed with their
own hands souls destitute of help:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) That the land, which thou
esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God’s
children.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Nevertheless even those thou
sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thine host, to
destroy them by little and little.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Not that thou wast unable to bring
the ungodly under the hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them
at once with cruel beasts, or with one rough word:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But executing thy judgments upon
them by little and little, thou gavest them place of repentance, not
being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice
was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For it was a cursed seed from the
beginning; neither didst thou for fear of any man give them pardon for
those things wherein they sinned.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For who shall say, What hast thou
done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall accuse thee for
the nations that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand
against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For neither is there any God but
thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is
not unright.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Neither shall king or tyrant be
able to set his face against thee for any whom thou hast punished.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Forsomuch then as thou art
righteous thyself, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not
agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to be
punished.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For thy power is the beginning of
righteousness, and because thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be
gracious unto all.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For when men will not believe
that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them
that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) But thou, mastering thy power,
judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest
use power when thou wilt.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) But by such works hast thou
taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy
children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) For if thou didst punish the
enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such
deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered
from their malice:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) With how great circumspection
didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and
made covenants of good promises?
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Therefore, whereas thou dost
chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the
intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness,
and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Wherefore, whereas men have lived
dissolutely and unrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their own
abominations.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) For they went astray very far in
the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of
their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no
understanding.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Therefore unto them, as to
children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgment to mock
them.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) But they that would not be
reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a
judgment worthy of God.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For, look, for what things they
grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to
be gods; now being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged
him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know:
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.
13
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Surely vain are all men by nature,
who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are
seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they
acknowledge the workmaster;
(ⲃ̅)
(2) But deemed either fire, or wind,
or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or
the lights of heaven, to be the gods which govern the world.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) With whose beauty if they being
delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of
them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) But if they were astonished at
their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier he
is that made them.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For by the greatness and beauty of
the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) But yet for this they are the less
to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to
find him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For being conversant in his works
they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things
are beautiful that are seen.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Howbeit neither are they to be
pardoned.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For if they were able to know so
much, that they could aim at the world; how did they not sooner find out
the Lord thereof?
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But miserable are they, and in
dead things is their hope, who call them gods, which are the works of
men’s hands, gold and silver, to shew art in, and resemblances of beasts,
or a stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Now a carpenter that felleth
timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken
off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely,
and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man’s life;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) And after spending the refuse of
his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And taking the very refuse among
those which served to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of
knots, hath carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and
formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the
image of a man;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Or made it like some vile beast,
laying it over with vermilion, and with paint colouring it red, and
covering every spot therein;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) And when he had made a convenient
room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For he provided for it that it
might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an
image, and hath need of help:
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Then maketh he prayer for his
goods, for his wife and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that
which hath no life.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For health he calleth upon that
which is weak: for life prayeth to that which is dead; for aid humbly
beseecheth that which hath least means to help: and for a good journey he
asketh of that which cannot set a foot forward:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And for gaining and getting, and
for good success of his hands, asketh ability to do of him, that is most
unable to do any thing.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Again, one preparing himself to
sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of
wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For verily desire of gain devised
that, and the workman built it by his skill.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) But thy providence, O Father,
governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the
waves;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Shewing that thou canst save from
all danger: yea, though a man went to sea without art.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Nevertheless thou wouldest not
that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit
their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak
vessel are saved.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For in the old time also, when the
proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped
in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For blessed is the wood whereby
righteousness cometh.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) But that which is made with hands
is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and
it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For the ungodly and his
ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For that which is made shall be
punished together with him that made it.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Therefore even upon the idols of
the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God
they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men,
and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For the devising of idols was the
beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the
corruption of life.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For neither were they from the
beginning, neither shall they be for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For by the vain glory of men they
entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) For a father afflicted with
untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken
away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered
to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Thus in process of time an
ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were
worshipped by the commandments of kings.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Whom men could not honour in
presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his
visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured,
to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was
absent, as if he were present.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Also the singular diligence of
the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) For he, peradventure willing to
please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of
the best fashion.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) And so the multitude, allured by
the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was
but honoured.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) And this was an occasion to
deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did
ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Moreover this was not enough for
them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in
the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For whilst they slew their
children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of
strange rites;
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) They kept neither lives nor
marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traitorously,
or grieved him by adultery.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) So that there reigned in all men
without exception blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation,
corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Disquieting of good men,
forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind,
disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For the worshipping of idols not
to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) For either they are mad when they
be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear
themselves.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) For insomuch as their trust is in
idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not
to be hurt.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) Howbeit for both causes shall
they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God,
giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising
holiness.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) For it is not the power of them
by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that
punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) But thou, O God, art gracious and
true, longsuffering, and in mercy ordering all things,
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For if we sin, we are thine,
knowing thy power: but we will not sin, knowing that we are counted
thine.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For to know thee is perfect
righteousness: yea, to know thy power is the root of immortality.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For neither did the mischievous
invention of men deceive us, nor an image spotted with divers colours,
the painter’s fruitless labour;
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The sight whereof enticeth fools
to lust after it, and so they desire the form of a dead image, that hath
no breath.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Both they that make them, they
that desire them, and they that worship them, are lovers of evil things,
and are worthy to have such things to trust upon.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For the potter, tempering soft
earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of
the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and
likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of
either sort, the potter himself is the judge.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And employing his labours lewdly,
he maketh a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was
made of earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the
same, out when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Notwithstanding his care is, not
that he shall have much labour, nor that his life is short: but striveth
to excel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the
workers in brass, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) His heart is ashes, his hope is
more vile than earth, and his life of less value than clay:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Forasmuch as he knew not his
Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a
living spirit.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) But they counted our life a
pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be
getting every way, though it be by evil means.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For this man, that of earthly
matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to
offend above all others.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And all the enemies of thy
people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more
miserable than very babes.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) For they counted all the idols of
the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor
noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle;
and as for their feet, they are slow to go.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For man made them, and he that
borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like
unto himself.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For being mortal, he worketh a
dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things
which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Yea, they worshipped those beasts
also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse
than others.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Neither are they beautiful, so
much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the
praise of God and his blessing.
16
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Therefore by the like were they
punished worthily, and by the multitude of beasts tormented.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Instead of which punishment,
dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat
of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) To the end that they, desiring
food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even
that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a
short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For it was requisite, that upon
them exercising tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid:
but to these it should only be shewed how their enemies were tormented.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) For when the horrible fierceness
of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked
serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever:
(ⲋ̅)
(6) But they were troubled for a small
season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put
them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For he that turned himself toward
it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the
Saviour of all.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And in this thou madest thine
enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For them the bitings of
grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for
their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But thy sons not the very teeth
of venomous dragons overcame: for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed
them.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For they were pricked, that they
should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into
deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For it was neither herb, nor
mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord,
which healeth all things.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For thou hast power of life and
death: thou leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) A man indeed killeth through his
malice: and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not; neither the
soul received up cometh again.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) But it is not possible to escape
thine hand.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For the ungodly, that denied to
know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange
rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not
avoid, and through fire were they consumed.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For, which is most to be wondered
at, the fire had more force in the water, that quencheth all things: for
the world fighteth for the righteous.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For sometime the flame was
mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against
the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were
persecuted with the judgment of God.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And at another time it burneth
even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy
the fruits of an unjust land.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Instead whereof thou feddest
thine own people with angels’ food, and didst send them from heaven bread
prepared without their labour, able to content every man’s delight, and
agreeing to every taste.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) For thy sustenance declared thy
sweetness unto thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater,
tempered itself to every man’s liking.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) But snow and ice endured the
fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail,
and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) But this again did even forget
his own strength, that the righteous might be nourished.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) For the creature that serveth
thee, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous
for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as
put their trust in thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Therefore even then was it
altered into all fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth
all things, according to the desire of them that had need:
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) That thy children, O Lord, whom
thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that
nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put
their trust in thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) For that which was not destroyed
of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) That it might be known, that we
must prevent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto
thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) For the hope of the unthankful
shall melt away as the winter’s hoar frost, and shall run away as
unprofitable water.
17
(ⲁ̅)
(1) For great are thy judgments, and
cannot be expressed: therefore unnurtured souls have erred.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For when unrighteous men thought
to oppress the holy nation; they being shut up in their houses, the
prisoners of darkness, and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay
there exiled from the eternal providence.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For while they supposed to lie hid
in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of
forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with strange
apparitions.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For neither might the corner that
held them keep them from fear: but noises as of waters falling down
sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy
countenances.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) No power of the fire might give
them light: neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to
lighten that horrible night.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Only there appeared unto them a
fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they
thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw
not.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) As for the illusions of art
magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved
with disgrace.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For they, that promised to drive
away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear,
worthy to be laughed at.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For though no terrible thing did
fear them; yet being scared with beasts that passed by, and hissing of
serpents, (10) They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which
could of no side be avoided.
(ⲓ̅)
(11) For wickedness, condemned by her
own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always
forecasteth grievous things.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(12) For fear is nothing else but a
betraying of the succours which reason offereth.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(13) And the expectation from within,
being less, counteth the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the
torment.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(14) But they sleeping the same sleep
that night, which was indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of
the bottoms of inevitable hell,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(15) Were partly vexed with monstrous
apparitions, and partly fainted, their heart failing them: for a sudden
fear, and not looked for, came upon them.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) So then whosoever there fell down
was straitly kept, shut up in a prison without iron bars,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) For whether he were husbandman,
or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured
that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with
one chain of darkness.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(18) Whether it were a whistling wind,
or a melodious noise of birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing
fall of water running violently,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(19) Or a terrible sound of stones
cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a
roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the
hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(20) For the whole world shined with
clear light, and none were hindered in their labour:
(ⲕ̅)
(21) Over them only was spread an
heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive
them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.
18
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Nevertheless thy saints had a very
great light, whose voice they hearing, and not seeing their shape,
because they also had not suffered the same things, they counted them
happy.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) But for that they did not hurt
them now, of whom they had been wronged before, they thanked them, and
besought them pardon for that they had been enemies.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Instead whereof thou gavest them a
burning pillar of fire, both to be a guide of the unknown journey, and an
harmless sun to entertain them honourably.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For they were worthy to be
deprived of light and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy sons shut
up, by whom the uncorrupt light of the law was to be given unto the
world.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And when they had determined to
slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to
reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and
destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Of that night were our fathers
certified afore, that assuredly knowing unto what oaths they had given
credence, they might afterwards be of good cheer.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) So of thy people was accepted both
the salvation of the righteous, and destruction of the enemies.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For wherewith thou didst punish
our adversaries, by the same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst
called.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For the righteous children of good
men did sacrifice secretly, and with one consent made a holy law, that
the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the
fathers now singing out the songs of praise.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) But on the other side there
sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable noise was
carried abroad for children that were bewailed.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The master and the servant were
punished after one manner; and like as the king, so suffered the common
person.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) So they all together had
innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living
sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them
was destroyed.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For whereas they would not
believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of
the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For while all things were in
quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Thine Almighty word leaped down
from heaven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the
midst of a land of destruction,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) And brought thine unfeigned
commandment as a sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with
death; and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Then suddenly visions of horrible
dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) And one thrown here, and another
there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) For the dreams that troubled them
did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were
afflicted.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Yea, the tasting of death touched
the righteous also, and there was a destruction of the multitude in the
wilderness: but the wrath endured not long.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) For then the blameless man made
haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his
proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set
himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end,
declaring that he was thy servant.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) So he overcame the destroyer, not
with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him
that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) For when the dead were now fallen
down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath,
and parted the way to the living.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) For in the long garment was the
whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the
fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Unto these the destroyer gave
place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of
the wrath.
19
(ⲁ̅)
(1) As for the ungodly, wrath came
upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would
do;
(ⲃ̅)
(2) How that having given them leave
to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) For whilst they were yet mourning
and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another
foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to
be gone.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) For the destiny, whereof they were
worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had
already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting
to their torments:
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And that thy people might pass a
wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For the whole creature in his
proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments
that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) As namely, a cloud shadowing the
camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red
sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green
field:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Where through all the people went
that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For they went at large like
horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered
them.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For they were yet mindful of the
things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the
ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a
multitude of frogs instead of fishes.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But afterwards they saw a new
generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked
delicate meats.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) For quails came up unto them from
the sea for their contentment. (13)
And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the
force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own
wickedness,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.
(14) For the Sodomites did not receive
those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into
bondage, that had well deserved of them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(15) And not only so, but peradventure
some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not
friendly:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) But these very grievously
afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already
made partakers of the same laws with them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) Therefore even with blindness
were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man:
when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one
sought the passage of his own doors.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(18) For the elements were changed in
themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the
name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived
by the sight of the things that have been done.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(19) For earthly things were turned
into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon
the ground.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(20) The fire had power in the water,
forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.
(ⲕ̅)
(21) On the other side, the flames
wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked
therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat that was of
nature apt to melt.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(22) For in all things, O Lord, thou
didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly
regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.

(9) Ye that fear the Lord, hope for
good, and for everlasting joy and mercy.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Look at the generations of old,
and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any
abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that
called upon him?
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For the Lord is full of
compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth
sins, and saveth in time of affliction.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Woe be to fearful hearts, and
faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Woe unto him that is
fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Woe unto you that have lost
patience! and what will ye do when the Lord shall visit you?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) They that fear the Lord will not
disobey his Word; and they that love him will keep his ways.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) They that fear the Lord will seek
that which is well, pleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be
filled with the law.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) They that fear the Lord will
prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Saying, We will fall into the
hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is,
so is his mercy.

(ⲁ̅)
(1) Hear me your father, O children,
and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For the Lord hath given the father
honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother
over the sons.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Whoso honoureth his father maketh
an atonement for his sins:
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And he that honoureth his mother
is as one that layeth up treasure.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Whoso honoureth his father shall
have joy of his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be
heard.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) He that honoureth his father shall
have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a
comfort to his mother.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) He that feareth the Lord will
honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his
masters.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Honour thy father and mother both
in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) For the blessing of the father
establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth
out foundations.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Glory not in the dishonour of thy
father; for thy father’s dishonour is no glory unto thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For the glory of a man is from
the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the
children.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) My son, help thy father in his
age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And if his understanding fail,
have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full
strength.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For the relieving of thy father
shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build
thee up.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) In the day of thine affliction it
shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the
fair warm weather.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) He that forsaketh his father is
as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) My son, go on with thy business
in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) The greater thou art, the more
humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Many are in high place, and of
renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) For the power of the Lord is
great, and he is honoured of the lowly.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Seek not out things that are too
hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) But what is commanded thee, think
thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with
thine eyes the things that are in secret.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Be not curious in unnecessary
matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) For many are deceived by their
own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Without eyes thou shalt want
light: profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last; and he that loveth
danger shall perish therein. (27) An
obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows; and the wicked man shall
heap sin upon sin.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(28) In the punishment of the proud
there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(29) The heart of the prudent will
understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(30) Water will quench a flaming fire;
and alms maketh an atonement for sins.
(ⲗ̅)
(31) And he that requiteth good turns
is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he
shall find a stay.
4
(ⲁ̅)
(1) My son, defraud not the poor of
his living, and make not the needy eyes to wait long.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Make not an hungry soul sorrowful;
neither provoke a man in his distress.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Add not more trouble to an heart
that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Reject not the supplication of the
afflicted; neither turn away thy face from a poor man.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Turn not away thine eye from the
needy, and give him none occasion to curse thee:
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For if he curse thee in the
bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard of him that made him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Get thyself the love of the
congregation, and bow thy head to a great man.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Let it not grieve thee to bow down
thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Deliver him that suffereth wrong
from the hand of the oppressor; and be not fainthearted when thou sittest
in judgment.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Be as a father unto the
fatherless, and instead of an husband unto their mother: so shalt thou be
as the son of the most High, and he shall love thee more than thy mother
doth.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Wisdom exalteth her children, and
layeth hold of them that seek her.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) He that loveth her loveth life;
and they that seek to her early shall be filled with joy.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) He that holdeth her fast shall
inherit glory; and wheresoever she entereth, the Lord will bless.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) They that serve her shall
minister to the Holy One: and them that love her the Lord doth love.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Whoso giveth ear unto her shall
judge the nations: and he that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) If a man commit himself unto her,
he shall inherit her; and his generation shall hold her in possession.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) For at the first she will walk
with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment
him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her
laws.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Then will she return the straight
way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) But if he go wrong, she will
forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin.

(2) Follow not thine own mind and thy
strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) And say not, Who shall control me
for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Say not, I have sinned, and what
harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no
wise let thee go.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Concerning propitiation, be not
without fear to add sin unto sin:
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And say not His mercy is great; he
will be pacified for the multitude of my sins:
(ⲍ̅)
for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon
sinners.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) Make no tarrying to turn to the
Lord, and put not off from day to day:
(ⲑ̅)
for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security
thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.
(ⲓ̅)
(8) Set not thine heart upon goods
unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(9) Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so doth
the sinner that hath a double tongue.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(10) Be stedfast in thy understanding;
and let thy word be the same.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(11) Be swift to hear; and let thy
life be sincere; and with patience give answer.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(12) If thou hast understanding,
answer thy neighbour; if not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(13) Honour and shame is in talk: and
the tongue of man is his fall.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) Be not called a whisperer, and
lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and
an evil condemnation upon the double tongue.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small.
6
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Instead of a friend become not an
enemy; for thereby thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach:
even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Extol not thyself in the counsel
of thine own heart; that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull
straying alone.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and
lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A wicked soul shall destroy him
that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Sweet language will multiply
friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Be in peace with many:
nevertheless have but one counsellor of a thousand.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) If thou wouldest get a friend,
prove him first and be not hasty to credit him.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For some man is a friend for his
own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) And there is a friend, who being
turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Again, some friend is a companion
at the table, and will not continue in the day of thy affliction.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) But in thy prosperity he will be
as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) If thou be brought low, he will
be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Separate thyself from thine
enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) A faithful friend is a strong
defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Nothing doth countervail a
faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) A faithful friend is the medicine
of life; and they that fear the Lord shall find him.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Whoso feareth the Lord shall
direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be
also.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) My son, gather instruction from
thy youth up: so shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Come unto her as one that ploweth
and soweth, and wait for her good fruits:
(ⲕ̅)
for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat
of her fruits right soon.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) She is very unpleasant to the
unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) She will lie upon him as a mighty
stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) For wisdom is according to her
name, and she is not manifest unto many.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) Give ear, my son, receive my
advice, and refuse not my counsel,
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(24) And put thy feet into her
fetters, and thy neck into her chain.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(25) Bow down thy shoulder, and bear
her, and be not grieved with her bonds.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(26) Come unto her with thy whole
heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(27) Search, and seek, and she shall
be made known unto thee: and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not
go.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(28) For at the last thou shalt find
her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.
(ⲗ̅)
(29) Then shall her fetters be a
strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(30) For there is a golden ornament
upon her, and her bands are purple lace.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(31) Thou shalt put her on as a robe
of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(32) My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt
be taught: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(33) If thou love to hear, thou shalt
receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(34) Stand in the multitude of the
elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(35) Be willing to hear every godly
discourse; and let not the parables of understanding escape thee.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(36) And if thou seest a man of
understanding, get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps
of his door.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(37) Let thy mind be upon the
ordinances of the Lord and meditate continually in his commandments:
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
he shall establish thine heart, and give thee wisdom at thine owns
desire.
7
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Do no evil, so shall no harm come
unto thee. (2) Depart from the unjust,
and iniquity shall turn away from thee.
(ⲃ̅)
(3) My son, sow not upon the furrows
of unrighteousness, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold.
(ⲅ̅)
(4) Seek not of the Lord preeminence,
neither of the king the seat of honour.
(ⲇ̅)
(5) justify not thyself before the
Lord; and boast not of thy wisdom before the king.
(ⲉ̅)
(6) Seek not to be judge, being not
able to take away iniquity;
(ⲋ̅)
lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, an stumblingblock in
the way of thy uprightness.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Offend not against the multitude
of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Bind not one sin upon another; for
in one thou shalt not be unpunished.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Say not, God will look upon the
multitude of my oblations, and when I offer to the most high God, he will
accept it.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Be not fainthearted when thou
makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Laugh no man to scorn in the
bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Devise not a lie against thy
brother; neither do the like to thy friend.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Use not to make any manner of
lie: for the custom thereof is not good.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Use not many words in a multitude
of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Hate not laborious work, neither
husbandry, which the most High hath ordained.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Number not thyself among the
multitude of sinners, but remember that wrath will not tarry long.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Humble thyself greatly: for the
vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Change not a friend for any good
by no means; neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Forego not a wise and good woman:
for her grace is above gold.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Whereas thy servant worketh
truly, entreat him not evil. nor the hireling that bestoweth himself
wholly for thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) Let thy soul love a good servant,
and defraud him not of liberty.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) Hast thou cattle? have an eye to
them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) Hast thou children? instruct
them, and bow down their neck from their youth.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(24) Hast thou daughters? have a care
of their body, and shew not thyself cheerful toward them.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(25) Marry thy daughter, and so shalt
thou have performed a weighty matter: but give her to a man of
understanding.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(26) Hast thou a wife after thy mind?
forsake her not: but give not thyself over to a light woman.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(27) Honour thy father with thy whole
heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(28) Remember that thou wast begotten
of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have
done for thee?
(ⲗ̅)
(29) Fear the Lord with all thy soul, and reverence his priests.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(30) Love him that made thee with all
thy strength, and forsake not his ministers.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(31) Fear the Lord, and honour the
priest; and give him his portion, as it is commanded thee;
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
the firstfruits, and the trespass offering, and the gift of the
shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of
the holy things.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(32) And stretch thine hand unto the
poor, that thy blessing may be perfected.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(33) A gift hath grace in the sight of
every man living; and for the dead detain it not.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(34) Fail not to be with them that
weep, and mourn with them that mourn. (35) Be not slow to visit the sick: fir that shall
make thee to be beloved.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(36) Whatsoever thou takest in hand,
remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss.
8
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Strive not with a mighty man’ lest
thou fall into his hands.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Be not at variance with a rich
man, lest he overweigh thee:
(ⲅ̅)
for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings.
(ⲇ̅)
(3) Strive not with a man that is full
of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.
(ⲉ̅)
(4) Jest not with a rude man, lest thy
ancestors be disgraced.
(ⲋ̅)
(5) Reproach not a man that turneth
from sin, but remember that we are all worthy of punishment.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) Dishonour not a man in his old
age: for even some of us wax old.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) Rejoice not over thy greatest
enemy being dead, but remember that we die all.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) Despise not the discourse of the
wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs:
(ⲓ̅)
for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with
ease.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(9) Miss not the discourse of the
elders: for they also learned of their fathers,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need
requireth.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(10) Kindle not the coals of a sinner,
lest thou be burnt with the flame of his fire.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(11) Rise not up in anger at the
presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in
thy words
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(12) Lend not unto him that is
mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest him, count it but lost.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(13) Be not surety above thy power:
for if thou be surety, take care to pay it.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(14) Go not to law with a judge; for
they will judge for him according to his honour.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(15) Travel not by the way with a bold
fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him
through his folly.
(ⲕ̅)
(16) Strive not with an angry man, and
go not with him into a solitary place:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help, he will
overthrow thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(17) Consult not with a fool; for he cannot keep counsel.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(18) Do no secret thing before a stranger; for thou knowest not what he
will bring forth.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(19) Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee with a
shrewd turn.
9
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Be not jealous over the wife of
thy bosom, and teach her not an evil lesson against thyself.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Give not thy soul unto a woman to
set her foot upon thy substance.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Meet not with an harlot, lest thou
fall into her snares.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Use not much the company of a
woman that is a singer, lest thou be taken with her attempts.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Gaze not on a maid, that thou fall
not by those things that are precious in her.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Give not thy soul unto harlots,
that thou lose not thine inheritance.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Look not round about thee in the
streets of the city, neither wander thou in the solitary place thereof.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Turn away thine eye from a
beautiful woman, and look not upon another’s beauty;
(ⲑ̅)
for many have been deceived by the beauty of a woman; for herewith love
is kindled as a fire.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) Sit not at all with another man’s wife, nor sit down with her in
thine arms, and spend not thy money with her at the wine;
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
lest thine heart incline unto her, and so through thy desire thou fall
into destruction.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(10) Forsake not an old friend; for
the new is not comparable to him:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with
pleasure.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(11) Envy not the glory of a sinner:
for thou knowest not what shall be his end.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(12) Delight not in the thing that the
ungodly have pleasure in; but remember they shall not go unpunished unto
their grave.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(13) Keep thee far from the man that
hath power to kill; so shalt thou not doubt the fear of death:
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
and if thou come unto him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life
presently:
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
remember that thou goest in the midst of snares, and that thou walkest
upon the battlements of the city.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(14) As near as thou canst, guess at
thy neighbour, and consult with the wise.
(ⲕ̅)
(15) Let thy talk be with the wise,
and all thy communication in the law of the most High.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(16) And let just men eat and drink
with thee; and let thy glorying be in the fear of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(17) For the hand of the artificer the
work shall be commended: and the wise ruler of the people for his speech.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(18) A man of an ill tongue is
dangerous in his city; and he that is rash in his talk shall be hated.
10
(ⲁ̅)
(1) A wise judge will instruct his
people; and the government of a prudent man is well ordered.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) As the judge of the people is
himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the
city is, such are all they that dwell therein.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) An unwise king destroyeth his
people; but through the prudence of them which are in authority the city
shall be inhabited.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) The power of the earth is in the
hand of the Lord, and in due time he will set over it one that is
profitable.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) In the hand of God is the
prosperity of man: and upon the person of the scribe shall he lay his
honour.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Bear not hatred to thy neighbour
for every wrong; and do nothing at all by injurious practices.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Pride is hateful before God and
man: and by both doth one commit iniquity.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Because of unrighteous dealings,
injuries, and riches got by deceit, the kingdom is translated from one
people to another.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Why is earth and ashes proud?
There is not a more wicked thing than a covetous man: for such an one
setteth his own soul to sale; because while he liveth he casteth away his
bowels.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) The physician cutteth off a long
disease; and he that is to day a king to morrow shall die.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) For when a man is dead, he shall
inherit creeping things, beasts, and worms.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) The beginning of pride is when
one departeth from God, and his heart is turned away from his Maker.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour
out abomination:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and
overthrew them utterly.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) The Lord hath cast down the
thrones of proud princes, and set up the meek in their stead.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) The Lord hath plucked up the
roots of the proud nations, and planted the lowly in their place.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) The Lord overthrew countries of
the heathen, and destroyed them to the foundations of the earth.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) He took some of them away, and
destroyed them, and hath made their memorial to cease from the earth.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) Pride was not made for men, nor
furious anger for them that are born of a woman.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they that love him an
honourable plant:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
they that regard not the law are a dishonourable seed; they that
transgress the commandments are a deceivable seed.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) Among brethren he that is chief
is honourably; so are they that fear the Lord in his eyes. (21) The fear of the Lord goeth before the
obtaining of authority: but roughness and pride is the losing thereof.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) Whether he be rich, noble, or
poor, their glory is the fear of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) It is not meet to despise the
poor man that hath understanding; neither is it convenient to magnify a
sinful man.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(24) Great men, and judges, and
potentates, shall be honoured; yet is there none of them greater than he
that feareth the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(25) Unto the servant that is wise
shall they that are free do service: and he that hath knowledge will not
grudge when he is reformed.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(26) Be not overwise in doing thy
business; and boast not thyself in the time of thy distress.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(27) Better is he that laboureth, and
aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself, and wanteth
bread.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(28) My son, glorify thy soul in
meekness, and give it honour according to the dignity thereof.
(ⲗ̅)
(29) Who will justify him that sinneth
against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own
life?
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(30) The poor man is honoured for his
skill, and the rich man is honoured for his riches.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(31) He that is honoured in poverty,
how much more in riches? and he that is dishonourable in riches, how much
more in poverty?
11
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Wisdom lifteth up the head of him
that is of low degree, and maketh him to sit among great men.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Commend not a man for his beauty;
neither abhor a man for his outward appearance.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The bee is little among such as
fly; but her fruit is the chief of sweet things.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Boast not of thy clothing and
raiment, and exalt not thyself in the day of honour:
(ⲉ̅)
for the works of the Lord are wonderful, and his works among men are
hidden.
(ⲋ̅)
(5) Many kings have sat down upon the
ground; and one that was never thought of hath worn the crown.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) Many mighty men have been greatly
disgraced; and the honourable delivered into other men’s hands.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) Blame not before thou hast
examined the truth: understand first, and then rebuke.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) Answer not before thou hast heard
the cause: neither interrupt men in the midst of their talk.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) Strive not in a matter that
concerneth thee not; and sit not in judgment with sinners.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) My son, meddle not with many
matters: for if thou meddle much, thou shalt not be innocent; and if thou
follow after, thou shalt not obtain, neither shalt thou escape by
fleeing.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) There is one that laboureth, and
taketh pains, and maketh haste, and is so much the more behind.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) Again, there is another that is
slow, and hath need of help, wanting ability, and full of poverty;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
yet the eye of the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from his
low estate,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(13) And lifted up his head from
misery; so that many that saw from him is peace over all the
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) Prosperity and adversity, life
and death, poverty and riches, come of the Lord. (15) Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the
law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from him.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) Error and darkness had their
beginning together with sinners: and evil shall wax old with them that
glory therein. (17) The gift of the
Lord remaineth with the ungodly, and his favour bringeth prosperity for
ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) There is that waxeth rich by his
wariness and pinching, and this his the portion of his reward:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Whereas he saith, I have found
rest, and now will eat continually of my goods;
(ⲕ̅)
and yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, and that he must
leave those things to others, and die.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) Be stedfast in thy covenant, and
be conversant therein, and wax old in thy work.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) Marvel not at the works of
sinners; but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labour:
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord on the sudden to make a
poor man rich.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) The blessing of the Lord is in
the reward of the godly, and suddenly he maketh his blessing flourish.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(23) Say not, What profit is there of
my service? and what good things shall I have hereafter?
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(24) Again, say not, I have enough,
and possess many things, and what evil shall I have hereafter?
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(25) In the day of prosperity there is
a forgetfulness of affliction: and in the day of affliction there is no
more remembrance of prosperity.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(26) For it is an easy thing unto the
Lord in the day of death to reward a man according to his ways.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(27) The affliction of an hour maketh
a man forget pleasure: and in his end his deeds shall be discovered.
(ⲗ̅)
(28) Judge none blessed before his
death: for a man shall be known in his children.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(29) Bring not every man into thine
house: for the deceitful man hath many trains.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(30) Like as a partridge taken and
kept in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and like as a spy, watcheth
he for thy fall:
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(31) For he lieth in wait, and turneth
good into evil, and in things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(32) Of a spark of fire a heap of
coals is kindled: and a sinful man layeth wait for blood.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(33) Take heed of a mischievous man,
for he worketh wickedness; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(34) Receive a stranger into thine
house, and he will disturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own.
12
(ⲁ̅)
(1) When thou wilt do good know to
whom thou doest it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Do good to the godly man, and thou
shalt find a recompence; and if not from him, yet from the most High.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) There can no good come to him that
is always occupied in evil, nor to him that giveth no alms.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Give to the godly man, and help
not a sinner. (5) Do well unto him
that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly:
(ⲉ̅)
hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee
thereby: for else thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good
thou shalt have done unto him.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) For the most High hateth sinners,
and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the
mighty day of their punishment. (7)
Give unto the good, and help not the sinner.
(ⲍ̅)
(8) A friend cannot be known in
prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.
(ⲏ̅)
(9) In the prosperity of a man enemies
will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart.
(ⲑ̅)
(10) Never trust thine enemy: for like
as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.
(ⲓ̅)
(11) Though he humble himself, and go
crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto
him as if thou hadst wiped a lookingglass, and thou shalt know that his
rust hath not been altogether wiped away.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(12) Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up
in thy place;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat,
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith.

bitten with a serpent, or any such as come nigh wild beasts?

and is defiled with him in his sins, who will pity?

(15) For a while he will abide with
thee, but if thou begin to fall, he will not tarry.

ⲛⲁⲕ
(17) If adversity come upon thee, thou
shalt find him there first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall
he undermine thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅) ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓϫⲁϫⲓ ⲕⲱⲣϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲫⲟⲧⲟⲩ

(16) An enemy speaketh sweetly with
his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he
will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be
satisfied with blood.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅) ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛⲓ̀ ⲉ̀ϫⲱⲕ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ

(17) If adversity come upon thee, thou

he undermine thee.

(18) He will shake his head, and clap

(1) He that toucheth pitch shall be
defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be
like unto him.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Burden not thyself above thy power
while thou livest; and have no fellowship with one that is mightier and
richer than thyself:
(ⲅ̅)
for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? for if the one be
smitten against the other, it shall be broken.
(ⲇ̅)
(3) The rich man hath done wrong, and
yet he threateneth withal: the poor is wronged, and he must intreat also.
(ⲉ̅)
(4) If thou be for his profit, he will
use thee: but if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.
(ⲋ̅)
(5) If thou have any thing, he will
live with thee: yea, he will make thee bare, and will not be sorry for
it.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) If he have need of thee, he will
deceive thee, and smile upon thee, and put thee in hope; he will speak
thee fair, and say, What wantest thou?
(ⲏ̅)
(7) And he will shame thee by his
meats, until he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice,
(ⲑ̅)
and at the last he will laugh thee to scorn afterward, when he seeth
thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee.
(ⲓ̅)
(8) Beware that thou be not deceived
and brought down in thy jollity.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(9) If thou be invited of a mighty
man, withdraw thyself, and so much the more will he invite thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(10) Press thou not upon him, lest
thou be put back; stand not far off, lest thou be forgotten.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(11) Affect not to be made equal unto
him in talk, and believe not his many words:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling upon thee
will get out thy secrets:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(12) But cruelly he will lay up thy
words, and will not spare to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(13) Observe, and take good heed, for
thou walkest in peril of thy overthrowing: when thou hearest these
things, awake in thy sleep. (14) Love
the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) Every beast loveth his like, and
every man loveth his neighbour.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(16) All flesh consorteth according to
kind, and a man will cleave to his like.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(17) What fellowship hath the wolf
with the lamb? so the sinner with the godly.
(ⲕ̅)
(18) What agreement is there between
the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor?
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(19) As the wild ass is the lion’s
prey in the wilderness: so the rich eat up the poor.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) As the proud hate humility: so
doth the rich abhor the poor.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(21) A rich man beginning to fall is
held up of his friends: but a poor man being down is thrust away by his
friends.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) When a rich man is fallen, he
hath many helpers: he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men
justify him:
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
the poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too; he spake wisely, and
could have no place.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(23) When a rich man speaketh, every
man holdeth his tongue, and, look, what he saith, they extol it to the
clouds:
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he
stumble, they will help to overthrow him.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(24) Riches are good unto him that
hath no sin, and poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(25) The heart of a man changeth his
countenance, whether it be for good or evil: and a merry heart maketh a
cheerful countenance.
(ⲗ̅)
(26) A cheerful countenance is a token
of a heart that is in prosperity; and the finding out of parables is a
wearisome labour of the mind.
14
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Blessed is the man that hath not
slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Blessed is he whose conscience
hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Riches are not comely for a
niggard: and what should an envious man do with money?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) He that gathereth by defrauding
his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) He that is evil to himself, to
whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) There is none worse than he that
envieth himself; and this is a recompence of his wickedness.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) And if he doeth good, he doeth it
unwillingly; and at the last he will declare his wickedness.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The envious man hath a wicked eye;
he turneth away his face, and despiseth men.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) A covetous man’s eye is not
satisfied with his portion; and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his
soul.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) A wicked eye envieth his bread,
and he is a niggard at his table.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) My son, according to thy ability
do good to thyself, and give the Lord his due offering.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Remember that death will not be
long in coming, and that the covenant of the grave is not shewed unto
thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Do good unto thy friend before
thou die, and according to thy ability stretch out thy hand and give to
him.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Defraud not thyself of the good
day, and let not the part of a good desire overpass thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Shalt thou not leave thy travails
unto another? and thy labours to be divided by lot?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Give, and take, and sanctify thy
soul; for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) All flesh waxeth old as a
garment: for the covenant from the beginning is, Thou shalt die the
death.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) As of the green leaves on a thick
tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood,
one cometh to an end, and another is born.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Every work rotteth and consumeth
away, and the worker thereof shall go withal.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Blessed is the man that doth
meditate good things in wisdom, and that reasoneth of holy things by his
understanding.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) He that considereth her ways in
his heart shall also have understanding in her secrets.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Go after her as one that traceth,
and lie in wait in her ways.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) He that prieth in at her windows
shall also hearken at her doors.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) He that doth lodge near her house
shall also fasten a pin in her walls.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) He shall pitch his tent nigh unto
her, and shall lodge in a lodging where good things are.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) He shall set his children under
her shelter, and shall lodge under her branches.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) By her he shall be covered from
heat, and in her glory shall he dwell.
15
(ⲁ̅)
(1) He that feareth the Lord will do
good, and he that hath the knowledge of the law shall obtain her.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And as a mother shall she meet
him, and receive him as a wife married of a virgin.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) With the bread of understanding
shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) He shall be stayed upon her, and
shall not be moved; and shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) She shall exalt him above his
neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his
mouth.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) He shall find joy and a crown of
gladness, and she shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) But foolish men shall not attain
unto her, and sinners shall not see her.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) For she is far from pride, and men
that are liars cannot remember her.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Praise is not seemly in the mouth
of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) For praise shall be uttered in
wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Say not thou, It is through the
Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he
hateth.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Say not thou, He hath caused me
to err: for he hath no need of the sinful man.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The Lord hateth all abomination;
and they that fear God love it not.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) He himself made man from the
beginning, and left him in the hand of his counsel;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) If thou wilt, to keep the
commandments, and to perform acceptable faithfulness.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) He hath set fire and water before
thee: stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Before man is life and death; and
whether him liketh shall be given him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For the wisdom of the Lord is
great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) And his eyes are upon them that
fear him, and he knoweth every work of man.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) He hath commanded no man to do
wickedly, neither hath he given any man licence to sin.
16
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Desire not a multitude of
unprofitable children, neither delight in ungodly sons.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Though they multiply, rejoice not
in them, except the fear of the Lord be with them. (3) Trust not thou in their life,
(ⲅ̅)
neither respect their multitude:
(ⲇ̅)
for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die
without children, than to have them that are ungodly.
(ⲉ̅)
(4) For by one that hath understanding
shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall
speedily become desolate.
(ⲋ̅)
(5) Many such things have I seen with
mine eyes, and mine ear hath heard greater things than these.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) In the congregation of the ungodly
shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) He was not pacified toward the old
giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) Neither spared he the place where
Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) He pitied not the people of
perdition, who were taken away in their sins:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) Nor the six hundred thousand
footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) And if there be one stiffnecked
among the people, it is marvel if he escape unpunished: for mercy and
wrath are with him; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) As his mercy is great, so is his
correction also: he judgeth a man according to his works
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) The sinner shall not escape with
his spoils: and the patience of the godly shall not be frustrate.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) Make way for every work of mercy:
for every man shall find according to his works. (15) The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not
know him, that his powerful works might be known to the world.
(16) His mercy is manifest to every
creature; and he hath separated his light from the darkness with an
adamant.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) Say not thou, I will hide myself
from the Lord: shall any remember me from above?
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
I shall not be remembered among so many people: for what is my soul among
such an infinite number of creatures?
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Behold, the heaven, and the
heaven of heavens, the deep, and the earth, and all that therein is,
shall be moved when he shall visit.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) The mountains also and
foundations of the earth be shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh
upon them.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) No heart can think upon these
things worthily: and who is able to conceive his ways?
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) It is a tempest which no man can
see: for the most part of his works are hid.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) Who can declare the works of his
justice? or who can endure them? for his covenant is afar off, and the
trial of all things is in the end.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) He that wanteth understanding
will think upon vain things: and a foolish man erring imagineth follies.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) My son, hearken unto me, and
learn knowledge, and mark my words with thy heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) I will shew forth doctrine in
weight, and declare his knowledge exactly.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) The works of the Lord are done in
judgment from the beginning: and from the time he made them he disposed
the parts thereof.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) He garnished his works for ever,
and in his hand are the chief of them unto all generations:
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
they neither labour, nor are weary, nor cease from their works.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(28) None of them hindereth another,
and they shall never disobey his word.
(ⲗ̅)
(29) After this the Lord looked upon
the earth, and filled it with his blessings.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(30) With all manner of living things
hath he covered the face thereof; and they shall return into it again.
17
(ⲁ̅)
(1) The Lord created man of the earth,
and turned him into it again.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) He gave them few days, and a short
time, and power also over the things therein.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) He endued them with strength by
themselves, and made them according to his image,
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And put the fear of man upon all
flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and fowls.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) They received the use of the five
operations of the Lord, and in the sixth place he imparted them
understanding, and in the seventh speech, an interpreter of the
cogitations thereof. (6) Counsel, and
a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave he them to understand.
(7) Withal he filled them with the
knowledge of understanding, and shewed them good and evil.
(ⲋ̅)
(8) He set his eye upon their hearts,
that he might shew them the greatness of his works.
(ⲍ̅)
(9) He gave them to glory in his
marvellous acts for ever, that they might declare his works with
understanding. (10) And the elect
shall praise his holy name.
(ⲏ̅)
(11) Beside this he gave them
knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.
(ⲑ̅)
(12) He made an everlasting covenant
with them, and shewed them his judgments.
(ⲓ̅)
(13) Their eyes saw the majesty of his
glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(14) And he said unto them, Beware of
all unrighteousness; and he gave every man commandment concerning his
neighbour.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(15) Their ways are ever before him,
and shall not be hid from his eyes.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(16) Every man from his youth is given
to evil; neither could they make to themselves fleshy hearts for stony.
(17) For in the division of the
nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel
is the Lord’s portion:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(18) Whom, being his firstborn, he
nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not
forsake him. (19) Therefore all their
works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their
ways.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(20) None of their unrighteous deeds
are hid from him, but all their sins are before the Lord (21) But the Lord being gracious and knowing his
workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but spared them.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(22) The alms of a man is as a signet
with him, and he will keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the eye,
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
and give repentance to his sons and daughters.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(23) Afterwards he will rise up and
reward them, and render their recompence upon their heads.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(24) But unto them that repent, he
granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience.
(ⲕ̅)
(25) Return unto the Lord, and forsake
thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(26) Turn again to the most High, and
turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the
light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(27) Who shall praise the most High in
the grave, instead of them which live and give thanks?
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(28) Thanksgiving perisheth from the
dead, as from one that is not: the living and sound in heart shall praise
the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(29) How great is the lovingkindness
of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in
holiness!
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(30) For all things cannot be in men,
because the son of man is not immortal.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(31) What is brighter than the sun?
yet the light thereof faileth; and flesh and blood will imagine evil.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(32) He vieweth the power of the
height of heaven; and all men are but earth and ashes.
18
(ⲁ̅)
(1) He that liveth for ever Hath
created all things in general.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The Lord only is righteous.
(4) To whom hath he given power to
declare his works?
(ⲅ̅)
and who shall find out his noble acts? (5) Who shall number the strength of his majesty?
and who shall also tell out his mercies?
(ⲇ̅)
(6) As for the wondrous works of the
Lord, there may nothing be taken from them, neither may any thing be put
unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.
(ⲉ̅)
(7) When a man hath done, then he
beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.
(ⲋ̅)
(8) What is man, and whereto serveth
he? what is his good, and what is his evil?
(ⲍ̅)
(9) The number of a man’s days at the
most are an hundred years.
(ⲏ̅)
(10) As a drop of water unto the sea,
and a gravelstone in comparison of the sand; so are a thousand years to
the days of eternity.
(ⲑ̅)
(11) Therefore is God patient with
them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them.
(ⲓ̅)
(12) He saw and perceived their end to
be evil; therefore he multiplied his compassion.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(13) The mercy of man is toward his
neighbour; but the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh:
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
he reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a
shepherd his flock.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(14) He hath mercy on them that
receive discipline, and that diligently seek after his judgments.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(15) My son, blemish not thy good
deeds, neither use uncomfortable words when thou givest any thing.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) Shall not the dew asswage the
heat? so is a word better than a gift.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) Lo, is not a word better than a
gift? but both are with a gracious man.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(18) A fool will upbraid churlishly,
and a gift of the envious consumeth the eyes.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(19) Learn before thou speak, and use
physick or ever thou be sick.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(20) Before judgment examine thyself,
and in the day of visitation thou shalt find mercy.
(ⲕ̅)
(21) Humble thyself before thou be
sick, and in the time of sins shew repentance.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(22) Let nothing hinder thee to pay
thy vow in due time, and defer not until death to be justified.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(23) Before thou prayest, prepare
thyself; and be not as one that tempteth the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(24) Think upon the wrath that shall
be at the end, and the time of vengeance, when he shall turn away his
face.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(25) When thou hast enough, remember
the time of hunger: and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(26) From the morning until the
evening the time is changed, and all things are soon done before the
Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(27) A wise man will fear in every
thing, and in the day of sinning he will beware of offence: but a fool
will not observe time.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(28) Every man of understanding
knoweth wisdom, and will give praise unto him that found her.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(29) They that were of understanding
in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite
parables.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(30) Go not after thy lusts, but
refrain thyself from thine appetites.
(ⲗ̅)
(31) If thou givest thy soul the
desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine
enemies that malign thee.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(32) Take not pleasure in much good
cheer, neither be tied to the expense thereof.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(33) Be not made a beggar by
banqueting upon borrowing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou
shalt lie in wait for thine own life, and be talked on.
19
(ⲁ̅)
(1) A labouring man that is given to
drunkenness shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things shall
fall by little and little.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Wine and women will make men of
understanding to fall away: and he that cleaveth to harlots will become
impudent.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Moths and worms shall have him to
heritage, and a bold man shall be taken away.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) He that is hasty to give credit is
lightminded; and he that sinneth shall offend against his own soul.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Whoso taketh pleasure in
wickedness shall be condemned: but he that resisteth pleasures crowneth
his life. (6) He that can rule his
tongue shall live without strife; and he that hateth babbling shall have
less evil.
(ⲋ̅)
(7) Rehearse not unto another that
which is told unto thee, and thou shalt fare never the worse.
(ⲍ̅)
(8) Whether it be to friend or foe,
talk not of other men’s lives; and if thou canst without offence, reveal
them not.
(ⲏ̅)
(9) For he heard and observed thee,
and when time cometh he will hate thee.
(ⲑ̅)
(10) If thou hast heard a word, let it
die with thee; and be bold, it will not burst thee.
(ⲓ̅)
(11) A fool travaileth with a word, as
a woman in labour of a child.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(12) As an arrow that sticketh in a
man’s thigh, so is a word within a fool’s belly.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(13) Admonish a friend, it may be he
hath not done it: and if he have done it, that he do it no more.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(14) Admonish thy friend, it may be he
hath not said it: and if he have, that he speak it not again.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(15) Admonish a friend: for many times
it is a slander, and believe not every tale.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) There is one that slippeth in his
speech, but not from his heart; and who is he that hath not offended with
his tongue?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) Admonish thy neighbour before
thou threaten him; and not being angry, give place to the law of the most
High.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(20) The fear of the Lord is all
wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the
knowledge of his omnipotency.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(22) The knowledge of wickedness is
not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(23) There is a wickedness, and the
same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom.
(ⲕ̅)
(24) He that hath small understanding,
and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and
transgresseth the law of the most High.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(25) There is an exquisite subtilty,
and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make
judgment appear; and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(26) There is a wicked man that
hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit,
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(27) Casting down his countenance, and
making as if he heard not: where he is not known, he will do thee a
mischief before thou be aware.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(28) And if for want of power he be
hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(29) A man may be known by his look,
and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest
him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(30) A man’s attire, and excessive
laughter, and gait, shew what he is.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(20:1) There is a reproof that is not
comely: again, some man holdeth his tongue, and he is wise.
20
(ⲁ̅)
(3) How good is it, when thou art
reproved, to shew repentance! for so shalt thou escape wilful sin.
(ⲃ̅)
(4) As is the lust of an eunuch to
deflower a virgin; so is he that executeth judgment with violence.
(ⲅ̅)
(5) There is one that keepeth silence,
and is found wise: and another by much babbling becometh hateful.
(ⲇ̅)
(6) Some man holdeth his tongue,
because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his
time.
(ⲉ̅)
(7) A wise man will hold his tongue
till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
(ⲋ̅)
(8) He that useth many words shall be
abhorred; and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.
(ⲍ̅)
(9) There is a sinner that hath good
success in evil things; and there is a gain that turneth to loss.
(ⲏ̅)
(10) There is a gift that shall not
profit thee; and there is a gift whose recompence is double.
(ⲑ̅)
(11) There is an abasement because of
glory; and there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
(ⲓ̅)
(12) There is that buyeth much for a
little, and repayeth it sevenfold.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(13) A wise man by his words maketh
him beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(14) The gift of a fool shall do thee
no good when thou hast it; neither yet of the envious for his necessity:
for he looketh to receive many things for one.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(15) He giveth little, and upbraideth
much; he openeth his mouth like a crier;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
to day he lendeth, and to morrow will he ask it again: such an one is to
be hated of God and man.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) The fool saith, I have no
friends, I have no thank for all my good deeds, and they that eat my
bread speak evil of me.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) How oft, and of how many shall he
be laughed to scorn! for he knoweth not aright what it is to have; and it
is all one unto him as if he had it not.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(18) To slip upon a pavement is better
than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come
speedily.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(19) An unseasonable tale will always
be in the mouth of the unwise.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(20) A wise sentence shall be rejected
when it cometh out of a fool’s mouth; for he will not speak it in due
season.
(ⲕ̅)
(21) There is that is hindered from
sinning through want: and when he taketh rest, he shall not be troubled.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(22) There is that destroyeth his own
soul through bashfulness, and by accepting of persons overthroweth
himself.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(23) There is that for bashfulness
promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(24) A lie is a foul blot in a man,
yet it is continually in the mouth of the untaught.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(25) A thief is better than a man that
is accustomed to lie: but they both shall have destruction to heritage.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(26) The disposition of a liar is
dishonourable, and his shame is ever with him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(27) A wise man shall promote himself
to honour with his words: and he that hath understanding will please
great men.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(28) He that tilleth his land shall
increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for
iniquity.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(29) Presents and gifts blind the eyes
of the wise, and stop up his mouth that he cannot reprove.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(30) Wisdom that is hid, and treasure
that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both?
(ⲗ̅)
(31) Better is he that hideth his
folly than a man that hideth his wisdom.
21
(ⲁ̅)
(1) My son, hast thou sinned? do so no
more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Flee from sin as from the face of
a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee:
(ⲅ̅)
the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.
(ⲇ̅)
(3) All iniquity is as a two edged
sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.
(ⲉ̅)
(4) To terrify and do wrong will waste
riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate.
(ⲋ̅)
(5) A prayer out of a poor man’s mouth
reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) He that hateth to be reproved is
in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his
heart.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) An eloquent man is known far and
near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) He that buildeth his house with
other men’s money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb
of his burial.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) The congregation of the wicked is
like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to
destroy them.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) The way of sinners is made plain
with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) He that keepeth the law of the
Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of
the Lord is wisdom.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) He that is not wise will not be
taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) The knowledge of a wise man shall
abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) The inner parts of a fool are
like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) If a skilful man hear a wise
word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but as soon as one of no
understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind
his back.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) The talking of a fool is like a
burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) They enquire at the mouth of the
wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their
heart.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) As is a house that is destroyed,
so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk
without sense.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) Doctrine unto fools is as fetters
on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) A fool lifteth up his voice with
laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) Learning is unto a wise man as an
ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) A foolish man’s foot is soon in
his neighbour’s house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) A fool will peep in at the door
into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(24) It is the rudeness of a man to
hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(25) The lips of talkers will be
telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as
have understanding are weighed in the balance.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(26) The heart of fools is in their
mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(27) When the ungodly curseth Satan,
he curseth his own soul.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(28) A whisperer defileth his own
soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth.
22
(ⲁ̅)
(1) A slothful man is compared to a
filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A slothful man is compared to the
filth of a dunghill: every man that takes it up will shake his hand.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) An evilnurtured man is the
dishonour of his father that begat him: and a foolish daughter is born to
his loss.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A wise daughter shall bring an
inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her
father’s heaviness.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) She that is bold dishonoureth both
her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) A tale out of season is as musick
in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.

(18) Pales set on an high place will
never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a
fool cannot stand against any fear.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) He that pricketh the eye will
make tears to fall: and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her
knowledge.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) Whoso casteth a stone at the
birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh
friendship.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) Though thou drewest a sword at
thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning to favour.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) If thou hast opened thy mouth
against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a
treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(23) Be faithful to thy neighbour in
his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity:
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be
heir with him in his heritage:
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(24) As the vapour and smoke of a
furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(25) I will not be ashamed to defend a
friend; neither will I hide myself from him.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(26) And if any evil happen unto me by
him, every one that heareth it will beware of him.
(ⲗ̅)
(27) Who shall set a watch before my
mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by
them, and that my tongue destroy me not?
23
(ⲁ̅)
(1) O Lord, Father and Governor of all
my whole life, leave me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by
them.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Who will set scourges over my
thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare
me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Lest mine ignorances increase, and
my sins abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and
mine enemy rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) O Lord, Father and God of my life,
give me not a proud look, but turn away from thy servants always a
haughty mind.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Turn away from me vain hopes and
concupiscence, and thou shalt hold him up that is desirous always to
serve thee.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Let not the greediness of the
belly nor lust of the flesh take hold of me; and give not over me thy
servant into an impudent mind.

Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool,

(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(15) The man that is accustomed to
opprobrious words will never be reformed all the days of his life.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(16) Two sorts of men multiply sin,
and the third will bring wrath:
(ⲕ̅)
a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched till it be
consumed: a fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he
hath kindled a fire.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(17) All bread is sweet to a
whoremonger, he will not leave off till he die.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(18) A man that breaketh wedlock,
saying thus in his heart, Who seeth me?
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
I am compassed about with darkness, the walls cover me, and no body seeth
me; what need I to fear? the most High will not remember my sins:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(19) Such a man only feareth the eyes
of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times
brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the
most secret parts.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(20) He knew all things ere ever they
were created; so also after they were perfected he looked upon them all.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(21) This man shall be punished in the
streets of the city, and where he suspecteth not he shall be taken.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(22) Thus shall it go also with the
wife that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(23) For first, she hath disobeyed the
law of the most High; and secondly, she hath trespassed against her own
husband; and thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought
children by another man.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(24) She shall be brought out into the
congregation, and inquisition shall be made of her children.
(ⲗ̅)
(25) Her children shall not take root,
and her branches shall bring forth no fruit.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(26) She shall leave her memory to be
cursed, and her reproach shall not be blotted out.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(27) And they that remain shall know
that there is nothing better than the fear of the Lord, and that there is
nothing sweeter than to take heed unto the commandments of the Lord.

(10) In the holy tabernacle I served
before him; and so was I established in Sion.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) Likewise in the beloved city he
gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) And I took root in an honourable
people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) I was exalted like a cedar in
Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) I was exalted like a palm tree in
En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a
pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a
pleasant odour
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the
fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(16) As the turpentine tree I
stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and
grace.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(17) As the vine brought I forth
pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) Come unto me, all ye that be
desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) For my memorial is sweeter than
honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) They that eat me shall yet be
hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) He that obeyeth me shall never be
confounded, and they that work by me shall not do amiss.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) All these things are the book of
the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for
an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) He filleth all things with his
wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) He maketh the understanding to
abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) He maketh the doctrine of
knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) The first man knew her not
perfectly: no more shall the last find her out.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder
than the great deep.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) I also came out as a brook from a river, and as a conduit into a
garden.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(31) I said, I will water my best
garden, and will water abundantly my garden bed:
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
and, lo, my brook became a river, and my river became a sea.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(32) I will yet make doctrine to shine
as the morning, and will send forth her light afar off.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(33) I will yet pour out doctrine as
prophecy, and leave it to all ages for ever.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(34) Behold that I have not laboured
for myself only, but for all them that seek wisdom.
25
(ⲁ̅)
(1) In three things I was beautified,
and stood up beautiful both before God and men:
(ⲃ̅)
the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that
agree together.
(ⲅ̅)
(2) Three sorts of men my soul hateth,
and I am greatly offended at their life:
(ⲇ̅)
a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer
that doateth.
(ⲉ̅)
(3) If thou hast gathered nothing in
thy youth, how canst thou find any thing in thine age?
(ⲋ̅)
(4) O how comely a thing is judgment
for gray hairs, and for ancient men to know counsel!
(ⲍ̅)
(5) O how comely is the wisdom of old
men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour.
(ⲏ̅)
(6) Much experience is the crown of
old men, and the fear of God is their glory.
(ⲑ̅)
(7) There be nine things which I have
judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my
tongue:
(ⲓ̅)
A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall
of his enemy:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(8) Well is him that dwelleth with a
wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and
that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(9) Well is him that hath found
prudence, and he that speaketh in the ears of them that will hear:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(10) O how great is he that findeth
wisdom! yet is there none above him that feareth the Lord. (11) But the love of the Lord passeth all things
for illumination: he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(12) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love: and faith is the
beginning of cleaving unto him.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(13) Give me any plague, but the
plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) And any affliction, but the
affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of
enemies.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) There is no head above the head
of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(16) I had rather dwell with a lion
and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(17) The wickedness of a woman
changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.
(ⲕ̅)
(18) Her husband shall sit among his
neighbours; and when he heareth it shall sigh bitterly.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(19) All wickedness is but little to
the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) As the climbing up a sandy way is
to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(21) Stumble not at the beauty of a
woman, and desire her not for pleasure.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) A woman, if she maintain her
husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(23) A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and
a wounded heart:
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands
and feeble knees.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(24) Of the woman came the beginning
of sin, and through her we all die.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(25) Give the water no passage;
neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(26) If she go not as thou wouldest
have her, cut her off from thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and
let her go.
26
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Blessed is the man that hath a
virtuous wife, for the number of his days shall be double.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A virtuous woman rejoiceth her
husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) A good wife is a good portion,
which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Whether a man be rich or poor, if
he have a good heart toward the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with
a cheerful countenance.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) There be three things that mine
heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a
city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false
accusation: all these are worse than death.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) But a grief of heart and sorrow is
a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue
which communicateth with all.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) An evil wife is a yoke shaken to
and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) A drunken woman and a gadder
abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The whoredom of a woman may be
known in her haughty looks and eyelids.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) If thy daughter be shameless,
keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Watch over an impudent eye: and
marvel not if she trespass against thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) She will open her mouth, as a
thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water
near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against
every arrow.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The grace of a wife delighteth
her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) A silent and loving woman is a
gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well
instructed.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) A shamefaced and faithful woman
is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) As the sun when it ariseth in the
high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her
house.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) As the clear light is upon the
holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) As the golden pillars are upon
the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(28) There be two things that grieve
my heart; and the third maketh me angry:
(ⲕ̅)
a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are
not set by;
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such
an one for the sword.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(29) A merchant shall hardly keep
himself from doing wrong; and an huckster shall not be freed from sin.
27
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Many have sinned for a small
matter; and he that seeketh for abundance will turn his eyes away.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) As a nail sticketh fast between
the joinings of the stones; so doth sin stick close between buying and
selling.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Unless a man hold himself
diligently in the fear of the Lord, his house shall soon be overthrown.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) As when one sifteth with a sieve,
the refuse remaineth; so the filth of man in his talk.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The furnace proveth the potter’s
vessels; so the trial of man is in his reasoning.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) The fruit declareth if the tree
have been dressed; so is the utterance of a conceit in the heart of man.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Praise no man before thou hearest
him speak; for this is the trial of men.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) If thou followest righteousness,
thou shalt obtain her, and put her on, as a glorious long robe.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) The birds will resort unto their
like; so will truth return unto them that practise in her.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) As the lion lieth in wait for the
prey; so sin for them that work iniquity.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The discourse of a godly man is
always with wisdom; but a fool changeth as the moon.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) If thou be among the indiscreet,
observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The discourse of fools is
irksome, and their sport is the wantonness of sin.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) The talk of him that sweareth
much maketh the hair stand upright; and their brawls make one stop his
ears.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) The strife of the proud is
bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Whoso discovereth secrets loseth
his credit; and shall never find friend to his mind.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Love thy friend, and be faithful
unto him: but if thou betrayest his secrets, follow no more after him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For as a man hath destroyed his
enemy; so hast thou lost the love of thy neighbour.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) As one that letteth a bird go out
of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and shalt not get him
again
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Follow after him no more, for he
is too far off; he is as a roe escaped out of the snare.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) As for a wound, it may be bound
up; and after reviling there may be reconcilement: but he that betrayeth
secrets is without hope.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) He that winketh with the eyes
worketh evil: and he that knoweth him will depart from him.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) When thou art present, he will
speak sweetly, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe
his mouth, and slander thy sayings.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(24) I have hated many things, but
nothing like him; for the Lord will hate him.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(25) Whoso casteth a stone on high
casteth it on his own head; and a deceitful stroke shall make wounds.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(26) Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall
therein: and he that setteth a trap shall be taken therein.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(27) He that worketh mischief, it
shall fall upon him, and he shall not know whence it cometh.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(28) Mockery and reproach are from the
proud; but vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for them.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(29) They that rejoice at the fall of
the righteous shall be taken in the snare; and anguish shall consume them
before they die.
(ⲗ̅)
(30) Malice and wrath, even these are
abominations; and the sinful man shall have them both.
28
(ⲁ̅)
(1) He that revengeth shall find
vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Forgive thy neighbour the hurt
that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou
prayest.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) One man beareth hatred against
another, and doth he seek pardon from the Lord?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) He sheweth no mercy to a man,
which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins?
(ⲉ̅)
(5) If he that is but flesh nourish
hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Remember thy end, and let enmity
cease; remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Remember the commandments, and
bear no malice to thy neighbour: remember the covenant of the Highest,
and wink at ignorance.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Abstain from strife, and thou
shalt diminish thy sins: for a furious man will kindle strife,
(ⲑ̅)
(9) A sinful man disquieteth friends,
and maketh debate among them that be at peace.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) As the matter of the fire is, so
it burneth: and as a man’s strength is, so is his wrath;
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are
which contend, the more they will be inflamed.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) An hasty contention kindleth a
fire: and an hasty fighting sheddeth blood.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) If thou blow the spark, it shall
burn: if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out
of thy mouth.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) Curse the whisperer and
doubletongued: for such have destroyed many that were at peace.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) A backbiting tongue hath
disquieted many, and driven them from nation to nation: strong cities
hath it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(15) A backbiting tongue hath cast out
virtuous women, and deprived them of their labours.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) Whoso hearkeneth unto it shall
never find rest, and never dwell quietly.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) The stroke of the whip maketh
marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) Many have fallen by the edge of
the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) Well is he that is defended
through the venom thereof; who hath not drawn the yoke thereof, nor hath
been bound in her bands.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) For the yoke thereof is a yoke of
iron, and the bands thereof are bands of brass.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) The death thereof is an evil
death, the grave were better than it.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) It shall not have rule over them
that fear God, neither shall they be burned with the flame thereof.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(23) Such as forsake the Lord shall
fall into it; and it shall burn in them, and not be quenched;
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and devour them as a leopard.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(24) Look that thou hedge thy
possession about with thorns, and bind up thy silver and gold,
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(25) And weigh thy words in a balance,
and make a door and bar for thy mouth.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(26) Beware thou slide not by it, lest
thou fall before him that lieth in wait.
29
(ⲁ̅)
(1) He that is merciful will lend unto
his neighbour; and he that strengtheneth his hand keepeth the
commandments.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Lend to thy neighbour in time of
his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due season.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Keep thy word, and deal faithfully
with him, and thou shalt always find the thing that is necessary for
thee.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Many, when a thing was lent them,
reckoned it to be found, and put them to trouble that helped them.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Till he hath received, he will
kiss a man’s hand; and for his neighbour’s money he will speak submissly:
(ⲋ̅)
but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of
grief, and complain of the time.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) If he prevail, he shall hardly
receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it:
(ⲏ̅)
if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an
enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings;
(ⲑ̅)
and for honour he will pay him disgrace.
(ⲓ̅)
(7) Many therefore have refused to
lend for other men’s ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(8) Yet have thou patience with a man
in poor estate, and delay not to shew him mercy.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(9) Help the poor for the
commandment’s sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(10) Lose thy money for thy brother
and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(11) Lay up thy treasure according to
the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit
than gold.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(12) Shut up alms in thy storehouses:
and it shall deliver thee from all affliction.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(13) It shall fight for thee against
thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(14) An honest man is surety for his
neighbour: but he that is impudent will forsake him.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(15) Forget not the friendship of thy
surety, for he hath given his life for thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(16) A sinner will overthrow the good
estate of his surety: (17) And he that
is of an unthankful mind will leave him in danger that delivered him.
(ⲕ̅)
(18) Suretiship hath undone many of
good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among
strange nations.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(19) A wicked man transgressing the
commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretiship: and he that
undertaketh and followeth other men’s business for gain shall fall into
suits.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(20) Help thy neighbour according to
thy power, and beware that thou thyself fall not into the same.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(21) The chief thing for life is
water, and bread, and clothing, and an house to cover shame.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(22) Better is the life of a poor man
in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man’s house.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(23) Be it little or much, hold thee
contented, that thou hear not the reproach of thy house.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(24) For it is a miserable life to go
from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open
thy mouth.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(25) Thou shalt entertain, and feast,
and have no thanks: moreover thou shalt hear bitter words:
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(26) Come, thou stranger, and furnish
a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready.
(ⲗ̅)
(27) Give place, thou stranger, to an
honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine
house.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(28) These things are grievous to a
man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the
lender.
30
(ⲁ̅)
(1) He that loveth his son causeth him
oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) He that chastiseth his son shall
have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) He that teacheth his son grieveth
the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Though his father die, yet he is
as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like
himself.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) While he lived, he saw and
rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) He left behind him an avenger
against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) He that maketh too much of his son
shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) An horse not broken becometh
headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Cocker thy child, and he shall
make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Laugh not with him, lest thou
have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Give him no liberty in his youth.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Beat his sides while he is still
young, lest becoming stubborn, he disobey thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Train up thy son, and exercise
him with work, lest by thy looseness thou stumble. (13a) And overlook not his ignorance. (13b) Bow down his neck in his youth.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Better is the poor, being sound
and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his
body.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Health and good estate of body
are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) There is no riches above a sound
body, and no joy above the joy of the heart.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Death is better than a bitter
life or continual sickness.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Delicates poured upon a mouth
shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) What good doeth the offering unto
an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of
the Lord.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) He seeth with his eyes and
groaneth, as an eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Give not over thy mind to
heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(22) The gladness of the heart is the
life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(23) Love thine own soul, and comfort
thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(24) Envy and wrath shorten the life,
and carefulness bringeth age before the time.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(25) I awaked up last of all, as one
that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I
profited, and filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(26) Consider that I laboured not for
myself only, but for all them that seek learning.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(27) Hear me, O ye great men of the
people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(28) Give not thy son and wife, thy
brother and friend, power over thee while thou livest, and give not thy
goods to another: lest it repent thee, and thou intreat for the same
again.
(ⲗ̅)
(29) As long as thou livest and hast
breath in thee, give not thyself over to any.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(30) For better it is that thy
children should seek to thee, than that thou shouldest stand to their
courtesy.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(31) In all thy works keep to thyself
the preeminence; leave not a stain in thine honour. (32) At the time when thou shalt end thy days, and
finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(33) Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are
for the ass; and bread, correction, and work, for a servant.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) If thou set thy servant to
labour, thou shalt find rest: but if thou let him go idle, he shall seek
liberty.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(35) A yoke and a collar do bow the
neck: so are tortures and torments for an evil servant.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(36) Send him to labour, that he be
not idle; for idleness teacheth much evil.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(37) Set him to work, as is fit for
him: if he be not obedient, put on more heavy fetters. (38) But be not excessive toward any; and without
discretion do nothing.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(39) If thou have a servant, let him
be unto thee as thyself, because thou hast bought him with a price.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(40) If thou have a servant, entreat
him as a brother: for thou hast need of him, as of thine own soul:
(ⲙ̅)
if thou entreat him evil, and he run from thee, which way wilt thou go to
seek him?
31
(ⲁ̅)
(1) The hopes of a man void of
understanding are vain and false: and dreams lift up fools.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Whoso regardeth dreams is like him
that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The vision of dreams is the
resemblance of one thing to another, even as the likeness of a face to a
face.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Of an unclean thing what can be
cleansed? and from that thing which is false what truth can come?
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Divinations, and soothsayings, and
dreams, are vain: and the heart fancieth, as a woman’s heart in travail.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) If they be not sent from the most
High in thy visitation, set not thy heart upon them.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) For dreams have deceived many, and
they have failed that put their trust in them.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The law shall be found perfect
without lies: and wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) A man that hath travelled knoweth
many things; and he that hath much experience will declare wisdom.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) He that hath no experience
knoweth little: but he that hath travelled is full of prudence.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) When I travelled, I saw many
things; and I understand more than I can express.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) I was ofttimes in danger of
death: yet I was delivered because of these things.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) The spirit of those that fear the
Lord shall live; for their hope is in him that saveth them.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Whoso feareth the Lord shall not
fear nor be afraid; for he is his hope.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) Blessed is the soul of him that
feareth the Lord: to whom doth he look? and who is his strength?
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) For the eyes of the Lord are upon
them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a
defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from
stumbling, and an help from falling.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) He raiseth up the soul, and
lighteneth the eyes: he giveth health, life, and blessing.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) He that sacrificeth of a thing
wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust
men are not accepted.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) The most High is not pleased with
the offerings of the wicked; neither is he pacified for sin by the
multitude of sacrifices.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) The bread of the needy is their
life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) Whoso bringeth an offering of the
goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father’s
eyes.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(22) He that taketh away his
neighbour’s living slayeth him;
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a bloodshedder.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(23) When one buildeth, and another
pulleth down, what profit have they then but labour?
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(24) When one prayeth, and another
curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear?
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(25) He that washeth himself after the
touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing?
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(26) So is it with a man that fasteth
for his sins, and goeth again, and doeth the same: who will hear his
prayer? or what doth his humbling profit him?
32
(ⲁ̅)
(1) He that keepeth the law bringeth
offerings enough: he that taketh heed to the commandment offereth a peace
offering.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) He that requiteth a good turn
offereth fine flour; and he that giveth alms sacrificeth praise.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) To depart from wickedness is a
thing pleasing to the Lord; and to forsake unrighteousness is a
propitiation.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Thou shalt not appear empty before
the Lord. (5) For all these things are
to be done because of the commandment.
(ⲉ̅)
(6) The offering of the righteous
maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savour thereof is before the most
High.
(ⲋ̅)
(7) The sacrifice of a just man is
acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.
(ⲍ̅)
(8) Give the Lord his honour with a
good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.
(ⲏ̅)
(9) In all thy gifts shew a cheerful
countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness.
(ⲑ̅)
(10) Give unto the most High according
as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful
eye.
(ⲓ̅)
(11) For the Lord recompenseth, and
will give thee seven times as much.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(12) Do not think to corrupt with
gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous
sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(13) He will not accept any person
against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(14) He will not despise the
supplication of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her
complaint.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(15) Do not the tears run down the
widow’s cheeks? and is not her cry against him that causeth them to fall?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) He that serveth the Lord shall be
accepted with favour, and his prayer shall reach unto the clouds.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) The prayer of the humble pierceth
the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted;
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge
righteously, and execute judgment.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) For the Lord will not be slack,
neither will the Mighty be patient toward them, till he have smitten in
sunder the loins of the unmerciful,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
and repayed vengeance to the heathen; till he have taken away the
multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous;
(ⲕ̅)
(19) Till he have rendered to every
man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their
devices;
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in
his mercy.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) Mercy is seasonable in the time
of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.
33
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of
all, and behold us:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And send thy fear upon all the
nations that seek not after thee. (3)
Lift up thy hand against the strange nations,
(ⲅ̅)
and let them see thy power. (4) As
thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them
before us.
(ⲇ̅)
(5) And let them know thee, as we have
known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.
(ⲉ̅)
(6) Shew new signs, and make other
strange wonders:
(ⲋ̅)
glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous
works.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Raise up indignation, and pour out
wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy. (8) Sake the time
short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.
(ⲏ̅)
(9) Let him that escapeth be consumed
by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.
(ⲑ̅)
(10) Smite in sunder the heads of the
rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.
(ⲓ̅)
(11) Gather all the tribes of Jacob
together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(12) A cheerful and good heart will
have a care of his meat and diet.
34
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Watching for riches consumeth the
flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Watching care will not let a man
slumber, as a sore disease breaketh sleep,
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The rich hath great labour in
gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his
delicates.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) The poor laboureth in his poor
estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) He that loveth gold shall not be
justified, and he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Gold hath been the ruin of many,
and their destruction was present.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) It is a stumblingblock unto them
that sacrifice unto it, and every fool shall be taken therewith.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Blessed is the rich that is found
without blemish, and hath not gone after gold.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Who is he? and we will call him
blessed: for wonderful things hath he done among his people.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Who hath been tried thereby, and
found perfect? then let him glory.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
Who might offend, and hath not offended? or done evil, and hath not done
it?
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) His goods shall be established,
and the congregation shall declare his alms.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) If thou sit at a bountiful table,
be not greedy upon it, and say not, There is much meat on it.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) Remember that a wicked eye is an
evil thing: and what is created more wicked than an eye? therefore it
weepeth upon every occasion.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(14) Stretch not thine hand
whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish.
(15) Judge not thy neighbour by
thyself:
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
and be discreet in every point.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) Eat as it becometh a man, those
things which are set before thee; and devour note, lest thou be hated.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) Leave off first for manners’
sake; and be not unsatiable, lest thou offend.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) When thou sittest among many,
reach not thine hand out first of all.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) A very little is sufficient for a
man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) Sound sleep cometh of moderate
eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him:
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an
unsatiable man.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(21) And if thou hast been forced to
eat, arise, go forth, vomit, and thou shalt have rest.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) My son, hear me, and despise me
not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee:
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
in all thy works be quick, so shall there no sickness come unto thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(23) Whoso is liberal of his meat, men
shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be
believed.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(24) But against him that is a niggard
of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his
niggardness shall not be doubted of.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(25) Shew not thy valiantness in wine;
for wine hath destroyed many.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(26) The furnace proveth the edge by
dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkenness.
(ⲗ̅)
(27) Wine is as good as life to a man,
if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without
wine? for it was made to make men glad.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(28) Wine measurably drunk and in
season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(29) But wine drunken with excess
maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(30) Drunkenness increaseth the rage
of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(31) Rebuke not thy neighbour at the
wine, and despise him not in his mirth:
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him to
drink.
35
(ⲁ̅)
(1) If thou be made the master of a
feast, lift not thyself up, but be among them as one of the rest; take
diligent care for them, and so sit down.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And when thou hast done all thy
office, take thy place, that thou mayest be merry with them, and receive
a crown for thy well ordering of the feast.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Speak, thou that art the elder,
for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; and hinder not musick.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Pour not out words where there is
a musician, and shew not forth wisdom out of time.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) A concert of musick in a banquet
of wine is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) As a signet of an emerald set in a
work of gold, so is the melody of musick with pleasant wine.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Speak, young man, if there be need
of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Let thy speech be short,
comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth
his tongue.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) If thou be among great men, make
not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not
many words.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Before the thunder goeth
lightning; and before a shamefaced man shall go favour.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Rise up betimes, and be not the
last; but get thee home without delay.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) There take thy pastime, and do
what thou wilt: but sin not by proud speech.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) And for these things bless him
that made thee, and hath replenished thee with his good things.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Whoso feareth the Lord will
receive his discipline; and they that seek him early shall find favour.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) He that seeketh the law shall be
filled therewith: but the hypocrite will be offended thereat.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) They that fear the Lord shall
find judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) A sinful man will not be
reproved, but findeth an excuse according to his will.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) A man of counsel will be
considerate; but a strange and proud man is not daunted with fear, even
when of himself he hath done without counsel.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Do nothing without advice; and
when thou hast once done, repent not.
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Go not in a way wherein thou
mayest fall, and stumble not among the stones.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(21) Be not confident in a plain way.
(22) And beware of thine own children.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(23) In every good work trust thy own
soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(24) He that believeth in the Lord
taketh heed to the commandment; and he that trusteth in him shall fare
never the worse.
36
(ⲁ̅)
(1) There shall no evil happen unto
him that feareth the Lord; but in temptation even again he will deliver
him.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) A wise man hateth not the law; but
he that is an hypocrite therein is as a ship in a storm.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) A man of understanding trusteth in
the law; and the law is faithful unto him, as an oracle.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Prepare what to say, and so thou
shalt be heard: and bind up instruction, and then make answer.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The heart of the foolish is like a
cartwheel; and his thoughts are like a rolling axletree.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) A stallion horse is as a mocking
friend, he neigheth under every one that sitteth upon him.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Why doth one day excel another,
when as all the light of every day in the year is of the sun?
(ⲏ̅)
(8) By the knowledge of the Lord they
were distinguished: and he altered seasons and feasts.
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Some of them hath he made high
days, and hallowed them, and some of them hath he made ordinary days.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And all men are from the ground,
and Adam was created of earth:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) In much knowledge the Lord hath
divided them, and made their ways diverse.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Some of them hath he blessed and
exalted and some of them he sanctified, and set near himself:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
but some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned out of their
places.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) As the clay is in the potter’s
hand, to fashion it at his pleasure:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
so man is in the hand of him that made him, to render to them as liketh
him best.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) Good is set against evil, and
life against death: so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner
against the godly.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) So look upon all the works of the
most High; and there are two and two, one against another.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(11) Though I was the last to wake up,
yet I received their inheritance as from the beginning.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(12) O Lord, have mercy upon the
people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named
thy firstborn.
(ⲕ̅)
(13) O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy
holy city, the place of thy rest.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(14) Fill Sion with thine unspeakable
oracles, and thy people with thy glory:
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(15) Give testimony unto those that
thou hast possessed from the beginning, and raise up prophets that have
been in thy name.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(16) Reward them that wait for thee,
and let thy prophets be found faithful.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(17) O Lord, hear the prayer of thy
servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people,
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord,
the eternal God.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(18) The belly devoureth all meats,
yet is one meat better than another.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(19) As the palate tasteth divers
kinds of venison: so doth an heart of understanding false speeches.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(20) A froward heart causeth
heaviness: but a man of experience will recompense him.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(21) A woman will receive every man,
yet is one daughter better than another.
(ⲗ̅)
(22) The beauty of a woman cheereth
the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(23) If there be kindness, meekness,
and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(24) He that getteth a wife beginneth
a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(25) Where no hedge is, there the
possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down
mourning.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(26) Who will trust a thief well
appointed, that skippeth from city to city?
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
so who will believe a man that hath no house, and lodgeth wheresoever the
night taketh him?
37
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Every friend saith, I am his
friend also: but there is a friend, which is only a friend in name.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Is it not a grief unto death, when
a companion and friend is turned to an enemy?
(ⲅ̅)
(3) O wicked imagination, whence
camest thou in to cover the earth with deceit?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) There is a companion, which
rejoiceth in the prosperity of a friend, but in the time of trouble will
be against him.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) There is a companion, which
helpeth his friend for the belly, and taketh up the buckler against the
enemy.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Forget not thy friend in thy mind,
and be not unmindful of him in thy riches.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Every counsellor extolleth
counsel; but there is some that counselleth for himself.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Beware of a counsellor, and know
before what need he hath;
(ⲑ̅)
for he will counsel for himself; lest he cast the lot upon thee,
(ⲓ̅)
(9) And say unto thee, Thy way is
good: and afterward he stand on the other side, to see what shall befall
thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) Consult not with one that
suspecteth thee: and hide thy counsel from such as envy thee.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) Neither consult with a woman
touching her of whom she is jealous; neither with a coward in matters of
war;
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
nor with a merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer of selling; nor
with an envious man of thankfulness;
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
nor with an unmerciful man touching kindness; nor with the slothful for
any work;
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
nor with an hireling for a year of finishing work; nor with an idle
servant of much business:
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
hearken not unto these in any matter of counsel.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(12) But be continually with a godly
man, whom thou knowest to keep the commandments of the Lord,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
whose, mind is according to thy mind, and will sorrow with thee, if thou
shalt miscarry. (13) And let the
counsel of thine own heart stand:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
for there is no man more faithful unto thee than it.
(ⲕ̅)
(14) For a man’s mind is sometime wont
to tell him more than seven watchmen, that sit above in an high tower.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(15) And above all this pray to the
most High, that he will direct thy way in truth.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(16) Let reason go before every
enterprise, and counsel before every action.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(17) The countenance is a sign of
changing of the heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(18) Four manner of things appear:
good and evil, life and death: but the tongue ruleth over them
continually.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(19) There is one that is wise and
teacheth many, and yet is unprofitable to himself.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(20) There is one that sheweth wisdom
in words, and is hated: he shall be destitute of all food.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(21) For grace is not given, him from
the Lord, because he is deprived of all wisdom.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(22) Another is wise to himself; and
the fruits of understanding are commendable in his mouth.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(23) A wise man instructeth his
people; and the fruits of his understanding fail not.
(ⲗ̅)
(24) A wise man shall be filled with
blessing; and all they that see him shall count him happy.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(25) The days of the life of man may
be numbered: but the days of Israel are innumerable.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(26) A wise man shall inherit glory
among his people, and his name shall be perpetual.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(27) My son, prove thy soul in thy
life, and see what is evil for it, and give not that unto it.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(28) For all things are not profitable
for all men, neither hath every soul pleasure in every thing.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(29) Be not unsatiable in any dainty
thing, nor too greedy upon meats:
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(30) For excess of meats bringeth
sickness, and surfeiting will turn into choler.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(31) By surfeiting have many perished;
but he that taketh heed prolongeth his life.
38
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Honour a physician with the honour
due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath
created him.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For of the most High cometh
healing, and he shall receive honour of the king.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) The skill of the physician shall
lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in
admiration.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) The Lord hath created medicines
out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Was not the water made sweet with
wood, that the virtue thereof might be known?
(ⲋ̅)
(6) And he hath given men skill, that
he might be honoured in his marvellous works.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) With such doth he heal men, and
taketh away their pains.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Of such doth the apothecary make a
confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over
all the earth,
(ⲑ̅)
(9) My son, in thy sickness be not
negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Leave off from sin, and order
thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) Give a sweet savour, and a
memorial of fine flour; and make a fat offering, as not being.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Then give place to the physician,
for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast
need of him.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) There is a time when in their
hands there is good success.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) For they shall also pray unto the
Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to
prolong life.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) He that sinneth before his Maker,
let him fall into the hand of the physician.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) My son, let tears fall down over
the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm
thyself;
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his
burial.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) Weep bitterly, and make great
moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort
thyself for thy heaviness.
(ⲕ̅)
(18) For of heaviness cometh death,
and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(19) In affliction also sorrow
remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) Take no heaviness to heart: drive
it away, and member the last end.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(21) Forget it not, for there is no
turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) Remember my judgment: for thine
also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(23) When the dead is at rest, let his
remembrance rest; and be comforted for him, when his Spirit is departed
from him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(24) The wisdom of a learned man
cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall
become wise.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(25) How can he get wisdom that
holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and
is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks?
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(26) He giveth his mind to make
furrows; and is diligent to give the kine fodder.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(27) So every carpenter and
workmaster, that laboureth night and day:
(ⲗ̅)
and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great
variety,
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work:
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(28) The smith also sitting by the
anvil, and considering the iron work,
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
the vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat
of the furnace:
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes
look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh;
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
he setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish it
perfectly:
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(29) So doth the potter sitting at his
work, and turning the wheel about with his feet,
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
who is alway carefully set at his work, and maketh all his work by
number;
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(30) He fashioneth the clay with his
arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet;
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the
furnace:
(ⲙ̅)
(31) All these trust to their hands:
and every one is wise in his work.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(32) Without these cannot a city be
inhabited: and they shall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down:
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
(33) They shall not be sought for in
publick counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on
the judges’ seat,
(ⲙ̅ⲅ̅)
nor understand the sentence of judgment: they cannot declare justice and
judgment; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅)
(34) But they will maintain the state
of the world, and all their desire is in the work of their craft.
39
(ⲁ̅)
(1) But he that giveth his mind to the
law of the most High, and is occupied in the meditation thereof,
(ⲃ̅)
will seek out the wisdom of all the ancient, and be occupied in
prophecies.
(ⲅ̅)
(2) He will keep the sayings of the
renowned men: and where subtil parables are, he will be there also.
(ⲇ̅)
(3) He will seek out the secrets of
grave sentences, and be conversant in dark parables.
(ⲉ̅)
(4) He shall serve among great men,
and appear before princes:
(ⲋ̅)
he will travel through strange countries; for he hath tried the good and
the evil among men.
(ⲍ̅)
(5) He will give his heart to resort
early to the Lord that made him, and will pray before the most High,
(ⲏ̅)
and will open his mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins.
(ⲑ̅)
(6) When the great Lord will, he shall
be filled with the spirit of understanding:
(ⲓ̅)
he shall pour out wise sentences, and give thanks unto the Lord in his
prayer.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(7) He shall direct his counsel and
knowledge, and in his secrets shall he meditate.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(8) He shall shew forth that which he
hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(9) Many shall commend his
understanding; and so long as the world endureth, it shall not be blotted
out; his memorial shall not depart away, and his name shall live from
generation to generation.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(10) Nations shall shew forth his
wisdom, and the congregation shall declare his praise.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(11) If he die, he shall leave a
greater name than a thousand: and if he live, he shall increase it.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(12) Yet have I more to say, which I
have thought upon; for I am filled as the moon at the full.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(13) Hearken unto me, ye holy
children, and bud forth as a rose growing by the brook of the field:
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(14) And give ye a sweet savour as
frankincense, and flourish as a lily, send forth a smell,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
and sing a song of praise, bless the Lord in all his works.
(ⲕ̅)
(15) Magnify his name, and shew forth
his praise
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
with the songs of your lips, and with harps, and in praising him ye shall
say after this manner:
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(16) All the works of the Lord are
exceeding good, and whatsoever he commandeth shall be accomplished in due
season.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(17) And none may say, What is this?
wherefore is that? for at time convenient they shall all be sought out:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his
mouth the receptacles of waters.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(18) At his commandment is done
whatsoever pleaseth him; and none can hinder, when he will save.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(19) The works of all flesh are before
him, and nothing can be hid from his eyes.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(20) He seeth from everlasting to
everlasting; and there is nothing wonderful before him.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(21) A man need not to say, What is
this? wherefore is that? for he hath made all things for their uses.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(22) His blessing covered the dry land
as a river, and watered it as a flood.
(ⲗ̅)
(23) As he hath turned the waters into
saltness: so shall the heathen inherit his wrath.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(24) As his ways are plain unto the
holy; so are they stumblingblocks unto the wicked.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(25) For the good are good things
created from the beginning: so evil things for sinners.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(26) The principal things for the
whole use of man’s life are water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat,
honey, milk, and the blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(27) All these things are for good to
the godly: so to the sinners they are turned into evil.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(28) There be spirits that are created
for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes;
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the
wrath of him that made them.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
(29) Fire, and hail, and famine, and
death, all these were created for vengeance;
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(30) Teeth of wild beasts, and
scorpions, serpents, and the sword punishing the wicked to destruction.
(31) They shall rejoice in his
commandment, and they shall be ready upon earth, when need is; and when
their time is come, they shall not transgress his word.
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
(32) Therefore from the beginning I
was resolved, and thought upon these things, and have left them in
writing. (33) All the works of the
Lord are good: and he will give every needful thing in due season.
(ⲙ̅)
(34) So that a man cannot say, This is
worse than that: for in time they shall all be well approved.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(35) And therefore praise ye the Lord
with the whole heart and mouth, and bless the name of the Lord.
40
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Great travail is created for every
man, and an heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam,
(ⲃ̅)
from the day that they go out of their mother’s womb, till the day that
they return to the mother of all things.
(ⲅ̅)
(2) Their imagination of things to
come, and the day of death, trouble their thoughts, and cause fear of
heart;
(ⲇ̅)
(3) From him that sitteth on a throne
of glory, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes;
(ⲉ̅)
(4) From him that weareth purple and a
crown, unto him that is clothed with a linen frock.
(ⲋ̅)
(5) Wrath, and envy, trouble, and
unquietness, fear of death, and anger, and strife,
(ⲍ̅)
and in the time of rest upon his bed his night sleep, do change his
knowledge.
(ⲏ̅)
(6) A little or nothing is his rest,
and afterward he is in his sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, troubled
in the vision of his heart, as if he were escaped out of a battle.
(ⲑ̅)
(7) When all is safe, he awaketh, and
marvelleth that the fear was nothing. (8) Such things happen unto all flesh, both man
and beast,
(ⲓ̅)
and that is sevenfold more upon sinners.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(9) Death, and bloodshed, strife, and
sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(10) These things are created for the
wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(11) All things that are of the earth
shall turn to the earth again: and that which is of the waters doth
return into the sea.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(12) All bribery and injustice shall
be blotted out: but true dealing shall endure for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(13) The goods of the unjust shall be
dried up like a river, and shall vanish with noise, like a great thunder
in rain.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) While he openeth his hand he
shall rejoice: so shall transgressors come to nought.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) The children of the ungodly shall
not bring forth many branches: but are as unclean roots upon a hard rock.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(16) The weed growing upon every water
and bank of a river shall be pulled up before all grass.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(17) Bountifulness is as a most
fruitful garden, and mercifulness endureth for ever.
(ⲕ̅)
(18) To labour, and to be content with
that a man hath, is a sweet life: but he that findeth a treasure is above
them both.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(19) Children and the building of a
city continue a man’s name: but a blameless wife is counted above them
both.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) Wine and musick rejoice the
heart: but the love of wisdom is above them both.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(21) The pipe and the psaltery make
sweet melody: but a pleasant tongue is above them both.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) Thine eye desireth favour and
beauty: but more than both corn while it is green.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(23) A friend and companion never meet
amiss: but above both is a wife with her husband.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(24) Brethren and help are against
time of trouble: but alms shall deliver more than them both.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(25) Gold and silver make the foot
stand sure: but counsel is esteemed above them both.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(26) Riches and strength lift up the
heart: but the fear of the Lord is above them both:
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
there is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek
help.
(ⲗ̅)
(27) The fear of the Lord is a
fruitful garden, and covereth him above all glory.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(28) My son, lead not a beggar’s life;
for better it is to die than to beg.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(29) The life of him that dependeth on
another man’s table is not to be counted for a life; for he polluteth
himself with other men’s meat: but a wise man well nurtured will beware
thereof.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(30) Begging is sweet in the mouth of
the shameless: but in his belly there shall burn a fire.
41
(ⲁ̅)
(1) O death, how bitter is the
remembrance of thee to a man that liveth at rest in his possessions, unto
the man that hath nothing to vex him, and that hath prosperity in all
things: yea, unto him that is yet able to receive meat!
(ⲃ̅)
(2) O death, acceptable is thy
sentence unto the needy, and unto him whose strength faileth, that is now
in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that
despaireth, and hath lost patience!
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Fear not the sentence of death,
remember them that have been before thee, and that come after; for this
is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) And why art thou against the
pleasure of the most High? there is no inquisition in the grave, whether
thou have lived ten, or an hundred, or a thousand years.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) The children of sinners are
abominable children, and they that are conversant in the dwelling of the
ungodly.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) The inheritance of sinners’
children shall perish, and their posterity shall have a perpetual
reproach.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) The children will complain of an
ungodly father, because they shall be reproached for his sake.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Woe be unto you, ungodly men,
which have forsaken the law of the most high God!
(ⲑ̅)
for if ye increase, it shall be to your destruction: (9) And if ye be born, ye shall be born to a
curse: and if ye die, a curse shall be your portion.
(ⲓ̅)
(10) All that are of the earth shall
turn to earth again: so the ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) The mourning of men is about
their bodies: but an ill name of sinners shall be blotted out.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) Have regard to thy name; for that
shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) A good life hath but few days:
but a good name endureth for ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) My children, keep discipline in
peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what
profit is in them both?
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) A man that hideth his foolishness
is better than a man that hideth his wisdom.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) Therefore be shamefaced according
to my word: for it is not good to retain all shamefacedness; neither is
it altogether approved in every thing.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) Be ashamed of whoredom before
father and mother: and of a lie before a prince and a mighty man;
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) Of an offence before a judge and
ruler; of iniquity before a congregation and people;
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
of unjust dealing before thy partner and friend; (19) And of theft in regard of the place where
thou sojournest,
(ⲕ̅)
and in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; and to lean with
thine elbow upon the meat;
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
and of scorning to give and take; (20)
And of silence before them that salute thee;
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
and to look upon an harlot; (21) And
to turn away thy face from thy kinsman;
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
or to take away a portion or a gift; or to gaze upon another man’s wife.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) Or to be overbusy with his maid,
and come not near her bed;
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
or of upbraiding speeches before friends; and after thou hast given,
upbraid not;
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(42:1) Or of iterating and speaking
again that which thou hast heard; and of revealing of secrets.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
So shalt thou be truly shamefaced and find favour before all men.
42
(ⲁ̅)
Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) Of the law of the most High, and
his covenant; and of judgment to justify the ungodly;
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Of reckoning with thy partners and
travellers; or of the gift of the heritage of friends;
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Of exactness of balance and
weights; or of getting much or little;
(ⲉ̅)
(5) And of merchants’ indifferent
selling; of much correction of children; and to make the side of an evil
servant to bleed.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Sure keeping is good, where an
evil wife is; and shut up, where many hands are.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Deliver all things in number and
weight; and put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Be not ashamed to inform the
unwise and foolish, and the extreme aged that contendeth with those that
are young:
(ⲑ̅)
thus shalt thou be truly learned, and approved of all men living.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) A daughter is a wakeful care to a
father; and the care for her taketh away sleep:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; and being
married, lest she should be hated:
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(10) In her virginity, lest she should
be defiled and gotten with child in her father’s house;
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
and having an husband, lest she should misbehave herself; and when she is
married, lest she should be barren.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(11) Keep a sure watch over a
shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies,
and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee
ashamed before the multitude.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(12) Behold not every bodys beauty,
and sit not in the midst of women.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(13) For from garments cometh a moth,
and from women wickedness.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(14) Better is the churlishness of a
man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and
reproach.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(15) I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things
that I have seen:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
In the words of the Lord are his works.
(ⲕ̅)
(16) The sun that giveth light looketh
upon all things, and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(17) The Lord hath not given power to
the saints to declare all his marvellous works, which the Almighty Lord
firmly settled, that whatsoever is might be established for his glory.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(18) He seeketh out the deep, and the
heart, and considereth their crafty devices:
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
for the Lord knoweth all that may be known, and he beholdeth the signs of
the world.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(19) He declareth the things that are
past, and for to come, and revealeth the steps of hidden things.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(20) No thought escapeth him, neither
any word is hidden from him.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(21) He hath garnished the excellent
works of his wisdom, and he is from everlasting to everlasting:
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
unto him may nothing be added, neither can he be diminished, and he hath
no need of any counsellor.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(22) Oh how desirable are all his
works! and that a man may see even to a spark.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(23) All these things live and remain
for ever for all uses, and they are all obedient.
(ⲗ̅)
(24) All things are double one against
another: and he hath made nothing imperfect.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(25) One thing establisheth the good
or another: and who shall be filled with beholding his glory?
43
(ⲁ̅)
(1) The pride of the height, the clear
firmament, the beauty of heaven, with his glorious shew;
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The sun when it appeareth,
declaring at his rising a marvellous instrument, the work of the most
High:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) At noon it parcheth the country,
and who can abide the burning heat thereof?
(ⲇ̅)
(4) A man blowing a furnace is in
works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more;
breathing out fiery vapours, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth
the eyes.
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Great is the Lord that made it;
and at his commandment runneth hastily.
(ⲋ̅)
(6) He made the moon also to serve in
her season for a declaration of times, and a sign of the world.
(ⲍ̅)
(7) From the moon is the sign of
feasts, a light that decreaseth in her perfection.
(ⲏ̅)
(8) The month is called after her
name, increasing wonderfully in her changing,
(ⲑ̅)
being an instrument of the armies above, shining in the firmament of
heaven;
(ⲓ̅)
(9) The beauty of heaven, the glory of
the stars, an ornament giving light in the highest places of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) At the commandment of the Holy
One they will stand in their order, and never faint in their watches.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) Look upon the rainbow, and praise
him that made it; very beautiful it is in the brightness thereof.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) It compasseth the heaven about
with a glorious circle, and the hands of the most High have bended it.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(13) By his commandment he maketh the
snow to fall apace, and sendeth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment.
(14) Through this the treasures are
opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) By his great power he maketh the
clouds firm, and the hailstones are broken small.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(16) At his sight the mountains are
shaken, and at his will the south wind bloweth.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(17) The noise of the thunder maketh
the earth to tremble: so doth the northern storm and the whirlwind:
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling down thereof is
as the lighting of grasshoppers:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(18) The eye marvelleth at the beauty
of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of
it.
(ⲕ̅)
(19) The hoarfrost also as salt he
poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp
stakes.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(20) When the cold north wind bloweth,
and the water is congealed into ice,
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water
as with a breastplate.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(21) It devoureth the mountains, and
burneth the wilderness, and consumeth the grass as fire.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) A present remedy of all is a mist
coming speedily, a dew coming after heat refresheth.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(23) By his counsel he appeaseth the
deep, and planteth islands therein.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(24) They that sail on the sea tell of
the danger thereof; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel thereat.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(25) For therein be strange and
wondrous works, variety of all kinds of beasts and whales created.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(26) By him the end of them hath
prosperous success, and by his word all things consist.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(27) We may speak much, and yet come
short: wherefore in sum, he is all.
(ⲗ̅)
(28) How shall we be able to magnify
him? for he is great above all his works.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(29) The Lord is terrible and very
great, and marvellous is his power.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(30) When ye glorify the Lord, exalt
him as much as ye can; for even yet will he far exceed:
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
and when ye exalt him, put forth all your strength, and be not weary; for
ye can never go far enough.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(31) Who hath seen him, that he might
tell us? and who can magnify him as he is?
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(32) There are yet hid greater things
than these be, for we have seen but a few of his works.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(33) For the Lord hath made all
things; and to the godly hath he given wisdom.
44
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Let us now praise famous men, and
our fathers that begat us.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) The Lord hath wrought great glory
by them through his great power from the beginning.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) Such as did bear rule in their
kingdoms, men renowned for their power,
(ⲇ̅)
giving counsel by their understanding, and declaring prophecies:
(ⲉ̅)
(4) Leaders of the people by their
counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people,
(ⲋ̅)
wise and eloquent are their instructions: (5) Such as found out musical tunes, and recited
verses in writing:
(ⲍ̅)
(6) Rich men furnished with ability,
living peaceably in their habitations:
(ⲏ̅)
(7) All these were honoured in their
generations, and were the glory of their times.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) There be of them, that have left a
name behind them, that their praises might be reported. (9) And some there be, which have no memorial;
(ⲓ̅)
who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though
they had never been born; and their children after them.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) But these were merciful men,
whose righteousness hath not been forgotten.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) With their seed shall continually
remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant.
(12) Their seed standeth fast, and
their children for their sakes.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) Their seed shall remain for ever,
and their glory shall not be blotted out.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) Their bodies are buried in peace;
but their name liveth for evermore. (15) The people will tell of their wisdom, and the
congregation will shew forth their praise.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(16) Enoch pleased the Lord, and was
translated, being an example of repentance to all generations.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(17) Noah was found perfect and
righteous; in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange for the world;
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
therefore was he left as a remnant unto the earth, when the flood came.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(18) An everlasting covenant was made
with him, that all flesh should perish no more by the flood.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(19) Abraham was a great father of
many people: in glory was there none like unto him;
(ⲕ̅)
(20) Who kept the law of the most
High, and was in covenant with him:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
he established the covenant in his flesh; and when he was proved, he was
found faithful.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(21) Therefore he assured him by an
oath, that he would bless the nations in his seed,
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
and that he would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his
seed as the stars,
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
and cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the
utmost part of the land.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(22) With Isaac did he establish
likewise for Abraham his father’s sake
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
the blessing of all men, and the covenant, (23) And made it rest upon the
head of Jacob.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
He acknowledged him in his blessing, and gave him an heritage,
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
and divided his portions; among the twelve tribes did he part them.
45
(ⲁ̅)
(44:24) And he brought out of him a
merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh,
(ⲃ̅)
even Moses, beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.
(ⲅ̅)
(2) He made him like to the glorious
saints, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.
(ⲇ̅)
(3) By his words he caused the wonders
to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings,
(ⲉ̅)
and gave him a commandment for his people, and shewed him part of his
glory.
(ⲋ̅)
(4) He sanctified him in his
faithfulness and meekness, and chose him out of all men.
(ⲍ̅)
(5) He made him to hear his voice, and
brought him into the dark cloud,
(ⲏ̅)
and gave him commandments before his face, even the law of life and
knowledge,
(ⲑ̅)
that he might teach Jacob his covenants, and Israel his judgments.
(ⲓ̅)
(6) He exalted Aaron, an holy man like
unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(7) An everlasting covenant he made
with him and gave him the priesthood among the people;
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of
glory.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(8) He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich
garments,
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod. (9) And he compassed him with pomegranates, and
with many golden bells round about,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be
heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people;
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(10) With an holy garment, with gold,
and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroiderer,
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
with a breastplate of judgment, and with Urim and Thummim; (11) With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning
workman,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the
jeweller,
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of
Israel.
(ⲕ̅)
(12) He set a crown of gold upon the
mitre, wherein was engraved Holiness,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
an ornament of honour, a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and
beautiful.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(13) Before him there were none such,
neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his
children’s children perpetually.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(14) Their sacrifices shall be wholly
consumed every day twice continually.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(15) Moses consecrated him, and
anointed him with holy oil:
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed,
so long as the heavens should remain,
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the
priesthood, and bless the people in his name.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) He chose him out of all men
living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for
a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(17) He gave unto him his
commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgments,
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his
laws.
(ⲗ̅)
(18) Strangers conspired together
against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were
of Dathan’s and Abiron’s side, and the congregation of Core, with fury
and wrath.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(19) This the Lord saw, and it
displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed:
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(20) But he made Aaron more
honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the
firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(21) For they eat of the sacrifices of
the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.
(ⲗ̅ⲉ̅)
(22) Howbeit in the land of the people
he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for
the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.
(ⲗ̅ⲋ̅)
(23) The third in glory is Phinees the
son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord,
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅)
and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned
back, and made reconciliation for Israel.
(ⲗ̅ⲏ̅)
(24) Therefore was there a covenant of
peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of
his people,
(ⲗ̅ⲑ̅)
and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood
for ever:
(ⲙ̅)
(25) According to the covenant made
with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of
the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aaron
should also be unto his seed.
(ⲙ̅ⲁ̅)
(26) God give you wisdom in your heart
to judge his people in righteousness,
(ⲙ̅ⲃ̅)
that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure
for ever.
46
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Jesus the son a Nave was valiant
in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies,
(ⲃ̅)
who according to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of
God,
(ⲅ̅)
and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he
might set Israel in their inheritance.
(ⲇ̅)
(2) How great glory gat he, when he
did lift up his hands, and stretched out his sword against the cities!
(ⲉ̅)
(3) Who before him so stood to it? for
the Lord himself brought his enemies unto him.
(ⲋ̅)
(4) Did not the sun go back by his
means? and was not one day as long as two?
(ⲍ̅)
(5) He called upon the most high Lord,
when the enemies pressed upon him on every side; and the great Lord heard
him. (6) And with hailstones of mighty
power
(ⲏ̅)
he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent
of Beth-horon he destroyed them that resisted,
(ⲑ̅)
that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the
sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.
(ⲓ̅)
(7) In the time of Moses also he did a
work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephunne,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
in that they withstood the congregation, and withheld the people from
sin, and appeased the wicked murmuring.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(8) And of six hundred thousand people
on foot, they two were preserved
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
to bring them in to the heritage, even unto the land that floweth with
milk and honey.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(9) The Lord gave strength also unto
Caleb, which remained with him unto his old age:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
so that he entered upon the high places of the land, and his seed
obtained it for an heritage:
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(10) That all the children of Israel
might see that it is good to follow the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(11) And concerning the judges, every
one by name, whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
let their memory be blessed. (12) Let
their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that
were honoured be continued upon their children.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(13) Samuel, the prophet of the Lord,
beloved of his Lord, established a kingdom,
(ⲕ̅)
and anointed princes over his people. (14) By the law of the Lord he
judged the congregation,
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
and the Lord had respect unto Jacob. (15) By his faithfulness he was found a true
prophet, and by his word he was known to be faithful in vision.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(16) He called upon the mighty Lord,
when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the
sucking lamb.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(17) And the Lord thundered from
heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(18) And he destroyed the rulers of
the Tyrians, and all the princes of the Philistines.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(19) And before his long sleep he made
protestations in the sight of the Lord and his anointed,
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
I have not taken any man’s goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did
accuse him.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(20) And after his death he
prophesied, and shewed the king his end,
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy, to blot out the
wickedness of the people.
47
(ⲁ̅)
(1) And after him rose up Nathan to
prophesy in the time of David.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) As is the fat taken away from the
peace offering, so was David chosen out of the children of Israel.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) He played with lions as with kids,
and with bears as with lambs.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) Slew he not a giant, when he was
yet but young? and did he not take away reproach from the people,
(ⲉ̅)
when he lifted up his hand with the stone in the sling, and beat down the
boasting of Goliath?
(ⲋ̅)
(5) For he called upon the most high
Lord; and he gave him strength in his right hand
(ⲍ̅)
to slay that mighty warrior, and set up the horn of his people.
(ⲏ̅)
(6) So the people honoured him with
ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he
gave him a crown of glory.
(ⲑ̅)
(7) For he destroyed the enemies on
every side, and brought to nought the Philistines his adversaries, and
brake their horn in sunder unto this day.
(ⲓ̅)
(8) In all his works he praised the
Holy One most high with words of glory; with his whole heart he sung
songs, and loved him that made him.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(9) He set singers also before the
altar, that by their voices they might make sweet melody, and daily sing
praises in their songs.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(10) He beautified their feasts, and
set in order the solemn times until the end,
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
that they might praise his holy name, and that the temple might sound
from morning.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(11) The Lord took away his sins, and
exalted his horn for ever:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
he gave him a covenant of kings, and a throne of glory in Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(12) After him rose up a wise son, and
for his sake he dwelt at large.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(13) Solomon reigned in a peaceable
time, and was honoured; for God made all quiet round about him,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
that he might build an house in his name, and prepare his sanctuary for
ever.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(14) How wise wast thou in thy youth
and, as a flood, filled with understanding!
(ⲕ̅)
(15) Thy soul covered the whole earth,
and thou filledst it with dark parables.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(16) Thy name went far unto the
islands; and for thy peace thou wast beloved.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(17) The countries marvelled at thee
for thy songs, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(18) By the name of the Lord God,
which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tin and
didst multiply silver as lead.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(19) Thou didst bow thy loins unto
women, and by thy body thou wast brought into subjection.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(20) Thou didst stain thy honour, and
pollute thy seed:
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
so that thou broughtest wrath upon thy children, and wast grieved for thy
folly.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(21) So the kingdom was divided, and
out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdom.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(22) But the Lord will never leave off
his mercy, neither shall any of his works perish,
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
neither will he abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him
that loveth him he will not take away:
(ⲗ̅)
wherefore he gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(23) Thus rested Solomon with his
fathers, and of his seed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness
of the people, and one that had no understanding, who turned away the
people through his counsel.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
There was also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and
shewed Ephraim the way of sin:
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(24) And their sins were multiplied
exceedingly, that they were driven out of the land.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(25) For they sought out all
wickedness, till the vengeance came upon them.
48
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Then stood up Elias the prophet as
fire, and his word burned like a lamp.
(ⲃ̅)
(2) He brought a sore famine upon
them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
(ⲅ̅)
(3) By the word of the Lord he shut up
the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.
(ⲇ̅)
(4) O Elias, how wast thou honoured in
thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!
(ⲉ̅)
(5) Who didst raise up a dead man from
death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most
High:
(ⲋ̅)
(6) Who broughtest kings to
destruction, and honourably men from their bed:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) Who heardest the rebuke of the
Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) Who anointedst kings to take
revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:
(ⲑ̅)
(9) Who was taken up in a whirlwind of
fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) Who wast ordained for reproofs in
their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord’s judgment, before it brake
forth into fury,
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the
tribes of Jacob.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) Blessed are they that saw thee,
and slept in love; for we shall surely live.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) Elias it was, who was covered
with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince,
neither could any bring him into subjection.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(13) No word could overcome him; and
after his death his body prophesied.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) He did wonders in his life, and
at his death were his works marvellous.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) For all this the people repented
not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and
carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth:
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(16) Of whom some did that which was
pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins.
(ⲕ̅)
(17) Ezekias fortified his city, and
brought in water into the midst thereof:
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
he digged the hard rock with iron, and made wells for waters.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(18) In his time Sennacherib came up,
and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted
proudly.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(19) Then trembled their hearts and
hands, and they were in pain, as women in travail.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(20) But they called upon the Lord
which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and
immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by
the ministry of Esay.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(21) He smote the host of the
Assyrians, and his angel destroyed them.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(22) For Ezekias had done the thing
that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as
Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded
him.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(23) In his time the sun went
backward, and he lengthened the king’s life.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(24) He saw by an excellent spirit
what should come to pass at the last, and he comforted them that mourned
in Sion.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(25) He shewed what should come to
pass for ever, and secret things or ever they came.
49
(ⲁ̅)
(1) The remembrance of Josias is like
the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary:
(ⲃ̅)
it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine.
(ⲅ̅)
(2) He behaved himself uprightly in
the conversion of the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity.
(ⲇ̅)
(3) He directed his heart unto the
Lord, and in the time of the ungodly he established the worship of God.
(ⲉ̅)
(4) All, except David and Ezekias and
Josias, were defective: for they forsook the law of the most High, even
the kings of Juda failed.
(ⲋ̅)
(5) Therefore he gave their power unto
others, and their glory to a strange nation.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) They burnt the chosen city of the
sanctuary, and made the streets desolate,
(ⲏ̅)
according to the prophecy of Jeremias. (7) For they entreated him evil, who nevertheless
was a prophet, sanctified in his mother’s womb, that he might root out,
and afflict, and destroy; and that he might build up also, and plant.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) It was Ezekiel who saw the
glorious vision, which was shewed him upon the chariot of the cherubims.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) For he made mention of the enemies
under the figure of the rain, and directed them that went right.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) And of the twelve prophets let
the memorial be blessed, and let their bones flourish again out of their
place:
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(11) How shall we magnify Zorobabel?
even he was as a signet on the right hand:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(12) So was Jesus the son of Josedec:
who in their time builded the house, and set up an holy temple to the
Lord, which was prepared for everlasting glory.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(13) And among the elect was Neemias,
whose renown is great, who raised up for us the walls that were fallen,
and set up the gates and the bars, and raised up our ruins again.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) But upon the earth was no man
created like Enoch; for he was taken from the earth.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) Neither was there a young man
born like Joseph, a governor of his brethren, a stay of the people, whose
bones were regarded of the Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(16) Sem and Seth were in great honour
among men, and so was Adam above every living thing in creation.
50
(ⲁ̅)
(1) Simon the high priest, the son of
Onias, who in his life repaired the house again, and in his days
fortified the temple:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) And by him was built from the
foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the
temple:
(ⲅ̅)
(3) In his days the cistern to receive
water, being in compass as the sea, was covered with plates of brass:
(ⲇ̅)
(4) He took care of the temple that it
should not fall, and fortified the city against besieging:
(ⲉ̅)
(5) How was he honoured in the midst
of the people in his coming out of the sanctuary!
(ⲋ̅)
(6) He was as the morning star in the
midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full:
(ⲍ̅)
(7) As the sun shining upon the temple
of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:
(ⲏ̅)
(8) And as the flower of roses in the
spring of the year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the
branches of the frankincense tree in the time of summer:
(ⲑ̅)
(9) As fire and incense in the censer,
and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:
(ⲓ̅)
(10) And as a fair olive tree budding
forth fruit, and as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(11) When he put on the robe of
honour, and was clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to
the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness honourable.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(12) When he took the portions out of
the priests’ hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar,
compassed about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed
they him round about.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(13) So were all the sons of Aaron in
their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the
congregation of Israel.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
(14) And finishing the service at the
altar, that he might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(15) He stretched out his hand to the
cup, and poured of the blood of the grape,
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the
most high King of all.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(16) Then shouted the sons of Aaron,
and sounded the silver trumpets,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance before the most
High.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(17) Then all the people together
hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord
God Almighty, the most High.
(ⲕ̅)
(18) The singers also sang praises
with their voices, with great variety of sounds was there made sweet
melody.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(19) And the people besought the Lord,
the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity
of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
(20) Then he went down, and lifted up
his hands over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give
the blessing of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(21) And they bowed themselves down to
worship the second time, that they might receive a blessing from the most
High.
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
(22) Now therefore bless ye the God of
all, which only doeth wondrous things every where,
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to
his mercy.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(23) He grant us joyfulness of heart,
and that peace may be in our days in Israel for ever:
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(24) That he would confirm his mercy
with us, and deliver us at his time!
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(25) There be two manner of nations
which my heart abhorreth, and the third is no nation: (26) They that sit upon the mountain of Samaria,
and they that dwell among the Philistines, and that foolish people that
dwell in Sichem.
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(27) Jesus the son of Sirach of
Jerusalem hath written in this book the instruction of understanding and
knowledge, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.
(ⲗ̅)
(28) Blessed is he that shall be
exercised in these things; and he that layeth them up in his heart shall
become wise.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(29) For if he do them, he shall be
strong to all things: for the light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth
wisdom to the godly. Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever. Amen,
Amen.
51
(ⲁ̅)
(1) I will thank thee, O Lord and
King, and praise thee, O God my Saviour: I do give praise unto thy name:
(ⲃ̅)
(2) For thou art my defender and
helper, and has preserved my body from destruction, and from the snare of
the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies,
(ⲅ̅)
and has been mine helper against mine adversaries: (3) And hast delivered me,
(ⲇ̅)
according to the multitude of they mercies and greatness of thy name,
from the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands
of such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afflictions which
I had;
(ⲉ̅)
(4) From the choking of fire on every
side, and from the midst of the fire which I kindled not;
(ⲋ̅)
(5) From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, and from
lying words.
(ⲍ̅)
(6) By an accusation to the king from
an unrighteous tongue my soul drew near even unto death, my life was near
to the hell beneath.
(ⲏ̅)
(7) They compassed me on every side,
and there was no man to help me: I looked for the succour of men, but
there was none.
(ⲑ̅)
(8) Then thought I upon thy mercy, O
Lord, and upon thy acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for
thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies.
(ⲓ̅)
(9) Then lifted I up my supplications
from the earth, and prayed for deliverance from death.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅)
(10) I called upon the Lord, the
Father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble,
and in the time of the proud, when there was no help.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅)
(11) I will praise thy name
continually, and will sing praises with thanksgiving; and so my prayer
was heard:
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅)
(12) For thou savedst me from
destruction, and deliveredst me from the evil time:
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅)
therefore will I give thanks, and praise thee, and bless they name, O
Lord.
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅)
(13) When I was yet young, or ever I
went abroad, I desired wisdom openly in my prayer.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅)
(14) I prayed for her before the
temple, and will seek her out even to the end.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅)
(15) Even from the flower till the
grape was ripe hath my heart delighted in her: my foot went the right
way, from my youth up sought I after her.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅)
(16) I bowed down mine ear a little,
and received her, and gat much learning.
(ⲓ̅ⲑ̅)
(17) I profited therein, therefore
will I ascribe glory unto him that giveth me wisdom.
(ⲕ̅)
(18) For I purposed to do after her,
and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be
confounded.
(ⲕ̅ⲁ̅)
(19) My soul hath wrestled with her,
and in my doings I was exact:
(ⲕ̅ⲃ̅)
I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my
ignorances of her.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅)
(20) I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness:
(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅)
I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I
not be forsaken.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅)
(21) My heart was troubled in seeking
her: therefore have I gotten a good possession.
(ⲕ̅ⲋ̅)
(22) The Lord hath given me a tongue
for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.
(ⲕ̅ⲍ̅)
(23) Draw near unto me, ye unlearned,
and dwell in the house of learning.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅)
(24) Wherefore are ye slow, and what
say ye to these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty?
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅)
(25) I opened my mouth, and said, Buy
her for yourselves without money.
(ⲗ̅)
(26) Put your neck under the yoke, and
let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find.
(ⲗ̅ⲁ̅)
(27) Behold with your eyes, how that I
have but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest.
(ⲗ̅ⲃ̅)
(28) Get learning with a great sum of
money, and get much gold by her.
(ⲗ̅ⲅ̅)
(29) Let your soul rejoice in his
mercy, and be not ashamed of his praise.
(ⲗ̅ⲇ̅)
(30) Work your work betimes, and in
his time he will give you your reward.

(1) IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JOAKIM son

(2) Take thee a roll of a book, and

thee, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.

(3) Perhaps the house of Juda will
hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from
their evil way; and so I will be merciful to their iniquities and their
sins.

(4) So Jeremias called Baruch the son

saying, I am in prison; I cannot enter into the house of the Lord:

(7) Peradventure their supplication
will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for
great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced
against this people.

(20) And they went in to the king into

(23) And it came to pass when Judin
had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast

where they bake, until the bread failed out of the city. So Jeremias
continued in the court of the prison.

(1) And Saphanias the son of Nathan,

(2) Thus saith the Lord; He that

(4) And they said to the king, Let
that man, we pray thee, be slain, for he weakens the hands of the
fighting men that are left in the city, and the hands of all the people,
speaking to them according to these words: for this man does not prophesy
peace to this people, but evil.

(11) So Abdemelech took the men and

desirable things which were from the days of old, when her people fell

her kings and her princes.

feast and the sabbath which he appointed in Sion, and in the fury of his
wrath has vexed the king, and priest, and prince.

they have brought down to the ground the chief virgins in Jerusalem.

(17) For like as a vessel that a man
useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods:
when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the
feet of them that come in.

ashamed: for if they fall to the ground at any time, they cannot rise up

they came in and stood near the brazen altar.

(1) And thou, son of man, prophesy to
the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear ye the
word of the Lord:
(ⲃ̅) ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̀ⲙⲱⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ

(2) Thus saith the Lord God; Because
the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a

(3) therefore prophesy, and say, Thus
saith the Lord God; Because ye have been dishonoured, and hated by those
round about you, that ye might be a possession to the remainder of the
nations, and ye became a by-word, and a reproach to the nations:

(4) therefore, ye mountains of Israel,
hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord to the mountains, and to
the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to the places that
have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been
deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that
were left round about;

(5) therefore, thus saith the Lord;
Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the
nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land
to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives of the
inhabitants, to destroy it by plunder:

(6) therefore prophesy concerning the
land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the
valleys, and to the forests, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I have spoken
in my jealousy and in my wrath, because ye have borne the reproaches of
the heathen:

(16) And the word of the Lord came to

(17) Son of man, the house of Israel
dwelt upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols,
and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the
uncleanness of a removed woman.
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓϫⲱϣ ⲙ̀ⲡⲁϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲉ̀ϧⲣⲏⲓ

(20) And they went in among the
nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it
was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth
out of his land.

(22) Therefore say to the house of
Israel, Thus saith the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your

(23) And I will sanctify my great

sanctified among you before their eyes.

giving light round about to the three stories, so as to look through: and
the house and the parts adjoining were planked round about, and so was

called Joacim:

and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the
Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.

(5) The same year were appointed two
of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of,
that wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to
govern the people.

(14) So when they were gone out, they
parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the
same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they
acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time both together, when
they might find her alone.

(18) And they did as she bade them,
and shut the garden doors, and went out themselves at privy doors to
fetch the things that she had commanded them: but they saw not the

(21) If thou wilt not, we will bear

(22) Then Susanna sighed, and said, I
am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me:
and if I do it not I cannot escape your hands.
(ⲕ̅ⲅ̅) ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲛⲉⲥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲉ̀ϣ̀ⲧⲉⲙⲁⲓϥ

(23) It is better for me to fall into

(ⲕ̅ⲇ̅) ⲁⲥⲱϣ ⲉ̀ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲥⲁⲛⲛⲁ ϧⲉⲛ

(24) With that Susanna cried with a
loud voice: and the two elders cried out against her.
(ⲕ̅ⲉ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲟϫⲓ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙ̀ⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛ̀ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲥⲟⲥ
(25) Then ran the one, and opened the
garden door.

(26) So when the servants of the house
heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see
what was done unto her.

(27) But when the elders had declared
their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such
a report made of Susanna.
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅) ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉ̀ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲓ̀ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ

(28) And it came to pass the next day,
when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came
also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉⲙ̀ⲑⲟ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ.

(29) And said before the people, Send

(30) So she came with her father and
mother, her children, and all her kindred.

(31) Now Susanna was a very delicate
woman, and beauteous to behold.

(32) And these wicked men commanded to
uncover her face, (for she was covered) that they might be filled with
her beauty.

(33) Therefore her friends and all

(34) Then the two elders stood up in
the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.

(35) And she weeping looked up toward
heaven: for her heart trusted in the Lord.

(36) And the elders said, As we walked
in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the
garden doors, and sent the maids away.
(ⲗ̅ⲍ̅) ⲁϥⲓ̀ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϧⲉⲗϣⲓⲣⲓ ⲉϥⲭⲏⲡ

(37) Then a young man, who there was
hid, came unto her, and lay with her.

(38) Then we that stood in a corner of
the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.

(39) And when we saw them together,
the man we could not hold: for he was stronger than we, and opened the
door, and leaped out.

(40) But having taken this woman, we
asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do
we testify.

(41) Then the assembly believed them
as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned
her to death.

(42) Then Susanna cried out with a
loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and
knowest all things before they be:

(43) Thou knowest that they have borne

such things as these men have maliciously invented against me.
(ⲙ̅ⲇ̅) ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲡϭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉ̀ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲙⲏ.
(44) And the Lord heard her voice.

(45) Therefore when she was led to be
put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose
name was Daniel:
(ⲙ̅ⲋ̅) ⲁϥⲱϣ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛ̀ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ

(47) Then all the people turned them

(48) So he standing in the midst of
them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination
or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?

(50) Wherefore all the people turned
again in haste, and the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us,
and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder.

(52) So when they were put asunder one
from another, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou that art
waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime
are come to light.

received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.

(56) So he put him aside, and
commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan,

(61) And they arose against the two

(11) For the question which the king
asks is difficult, and there is no one else who shall answer it before
the king, but the gods, whose dwelling is not with any flesh.

(12) Then the king in rage and anger
commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

(13) So the decree went forth, and
they began to slay the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his fellows
to slay them.

(14) Then Daniel answered with counsel
and prudence to Arioch the captain of the royal guard, who was gone forth
to kill the wise men of Babylon; saying,
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲓ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ

(15) Chief magistrate of the king,
wherefore has the preemptory command proceeded from the king? So Arioch
made known the matter to Daniel.

(16) And Daniel intreated the king to
give him time, and that he might thus declare to the king the
interpretation of it.

(17) So Daniel went into his house,
and made known the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias, his
friends.

(18) And they sought mercies from the
God of heaven concerning this mystery; that Daniel and his friends might
not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

(19) Then the mystery was revealed to
Daniel in a vision of the night; and Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
and said,

he appoints kings, and removes them, giving wisdom to the wise, and
prudence to them that have understanding:

(24) And Daniel came to Arioch, whom
the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to
him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, but bring me in before the
king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.

(25) Then Arioch in haste brought in
Daniel before the king, and said to him, I have found a man of the
children of the captivity of Judea, who will declare the interpretation
to the king.

(26) And the king answered and said to
Daniel, whose name was Baltasar, Canst thou declare to me the dream which
I saw, and the interpretation thereof?

(27) And Daniel answered before the
king, and said, The mystery which the king asks the explanation of is not
in the power of the wise men, magicians, enchanters, or soothsayers to
declare to the king.

(28) But there is a God in heaven
revealing mysteries, and he has made known to king Nabuchodonosor what
things must come to pass in the last days. Thy dream, and the visions of
thy head upon thy bed, are as follows,
(ⲕ̅ⲑ̅) ⲛ̀ⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲁⲩⲓ̀ ⲉ̀ϩⲣⲏⲓ

(29) O king: thy thoughts upon thy bed
arose as to what must come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals
mysteries has made known to thee what must come to pass.

(30) Moreover, this mystery has not
been revealed to me by reason of wisdom which is in me beyond all others
living, but for the sake of making known the interpretation to the king,
that thou mightest know the thoughts of thine heart.

standing before thy face; and the form of it was terrible.

(34) Thou sawest until a stone was cut
out of a mountain without hands, and it smote the image upon its feet of
iron and earthenware, and utterly reduced them to powder.

(35) Then once for all the
earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to
powder, and became as chaff from the summer threshingfloor; and the
violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them:
and the stone which had smitten the image became a great mountain, and
filled all the earth.

(1) In his eighteenth year
Nabuchodonosor the king made a golden image, its height was sixty cubits,
its breadth six cubits: and he set it up in the plain of Deira, in the
province of Babylon.

(2) And he sent forth to gather the
governors, and the captains, and the heads of provinces, chiefs, and
princes, and those who were in authority, and all the rulers of
districts, to come to the dedication of the image.

(3) So the heads of provinces, the
governors, the captains, the chiefs, the great princes, those who were in
authority, and all the rulers of districts, were gathered to the
dedication of the image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up; and they
stood before the image.

(7) And it came to pass when the
nations heard the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut,
and psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the nations, tribes, and
languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image which king
Nabuchodonosor had set up.

(12) There are certain Jews whom thou

the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said, Sedrach, Misach, and
Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, proceed forth, and come
hither. So Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, came forth out of the midst of

not scorched, nor was the smell of fire upon them.

(28) And king Nabuchodonosor answered
and said, Blessed be the God of Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who has
sent his angel, and delivered his servants, because they trusted in him;
and they have changed the king’s word, and delivered their bodies to be
burnt, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own
God.

able to deliver thus.

(2) And Baltasar drinking gave orders
as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels,
which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought forth from the temple in
Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his
concubines, should drink out of them.

(3) So the gold and silver vessels
were brought which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple of God in
Jerusalem; and the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his

(5) In the same hour came forth
fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of

that wrote.

(7) And the king cried aloud to bring

of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and make known to me the

golden chain upon his neck, and he shall be the third ruler in my

(11) There is a man in thy kingdom, in

(12) For there is an excellent spirit
in him, and sense and understanding in him, interpreting dreams as he
does, and answering hard questions, and solving difficulties: it is
Daniel, and the king gave him the name of Baltasar: now then let him be
called, and he shall tell thee the interpretation of the writing.

(19) and by reason of the majesty

(21) And he was driven forth from men;

(1) And it pleased Darius, and he set
over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;

(2) and over them three governors, of
whom one was, Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the
king should not be troubled.

(3) And Daniel was over them, for
there was an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his
kingdom.

(4) Then the governors and satraps
sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no
occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.

(5) And the governors said, We shall
not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.

(6) Then the governors and satraps
stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.

(7) All who preside over thy kingdom,
captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel
together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that
whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of
thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

(8) Now then, O king, establish the

not changed.

(10) And when Daniel knew that the
decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened
in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt
upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to
do before.

(11) Then these men watched, and found
Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.

(12) And they came and said to the
king, O king, has thou not made a decree, that whatsoever man shall ask a
petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be
cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the
decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.

(13) Then they answered and said
before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has
not submitted to thy decree; and three times in the day he makes his
requests of his God.

(14) Then the king, when he heard the
saying, was much grieved for Daniel and he greatly exerted himself for
Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver
him.

(15) Then those men said to the king,
Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that we must not
change any decree of statue which the king shall make.

(16) Then the king commanded, and they
brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to
Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

(17) And they brought a stone, and put
it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his ring, and
with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with
regard to Daniel.

(18) And the king departed to his
house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep
departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they not
molest Daniel.

(20) And when he drew near to the den,
he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has thy
God, whom thou servest continually, been able to deliver thee from the
lion’s mouth?

(22) My God has sent his angel, and
stopped the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was
found in me before him; and moreover before thee, O king, I have
committed no trespass.

(23) Then the king was very glad for
him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was
brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he
believed in his God.

(24) And the king commanded, and they
brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den
of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not
the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and
utterly broke to pieces all their bones.

which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.

(16) And I drew near to one of them

(19) Then I enquired carefully
concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every other beast,
exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass,
devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder
with its feet:

were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up some of the

was bolder than the rest.

(3) Now the Babylonians had an idol,
called Bel, and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures
of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine.

(4) And the king worshipped it and
went daily to adore it: but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king
said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel?

(6) Then said the king unto him,
Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living God? seest thou not how much he

(7) Then Daniel smiled, and said, O
king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without,
and did never eat or drink any thing.

(8) So the king was wroth, and called

(9) But if ye can certify me that Bel
devoureth them, then Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy
against Bel. And Daniel said unto the king, Let it be according to thy

(10) Now the priests of Bel were
threescore and ten, beside their wives and children. And the king went
with Daniel into the temple of Bel.

(11) So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go
out: but thou, O king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut
the door fast and seal it with thine own signet;

(12) And to morrow when thou comest

(13) And they little regarded it: for
under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in
continually, and consumed those things.

(14) So when they were gone forth, the
king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring
ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence
of the king alone: then went they out, and shut the door, and sealed it
with the king's signet, and so departed.

(15) Now in the night came the priests

drink up all.

(18) And as soon as he had opened the
dour, the king looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, Great

(21) And took the priests with their

and consumed such things as were upon the table.

(24) And the king said unto Daniel,
Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and

(27) Then Daniel took pitch, and fat,
and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he
put in the dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder: and Daniel
said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.

(28) When they of Babylon heard that,
they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The
king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the
dragon, and put the priests to death.

(32) And in the den there were seven

(33) Now there was in Jewry a prophet,
called Habbacuc, who had made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl,
and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers.

having wings like an eagle. I saw as I waited that it flew with its

(5) The second animal resembled human

quarters of its face were broken and the fourth quarter remained firm. I
looked at it until its teeth were torn out of its mouth.

(7) And proclamation was made, and it
was commanded in Nineve by the king an by his great men, saying, Let not

water.

(8) So men and cattle were clothed
with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to God; and they turned every one
from their evil way, and from the iniquity that was in their hands,
saying,

said, O Lord, were not these my words when I was yet in my land?
therefore I made haste to flee to Tharsis; because I knew that thou are
merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in kindness, and
repentest of evil.

It is better for me to die than to live.

(1) In the second year of Darius the

(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅) ϣⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲉ̀ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲕϫⲱ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲥ
(11) Thus saith the Lord Almighty;
Inquire now of the priest concerning the law, saying,

(12) If a man should take holy flesh
in the skirt of his garment, and the skirt of his garment should touch
bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And
the priests answered and said, No.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉ̀ϣⲱⲡ

(13) And Aggaeus said, If a defiled
person who is unclean by reason of a dead body, touch any of these, shall
it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.

(14) And Aggaeus answered and said, So
is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so
are all the works of their hands: and whosoever shall approach them,
shall be defiled [because of their early burdens: they shall be pained
because of their toils; and ye have hated him that reproved in the
gates].

(15) And now consider, I pray you,
from this day and beforetime, before they laid a stone on a stone in the
temple of the Lord, what manner of men ye were.

(16) When ye cast into the corn-bin

and ye went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were but
twenty.

(17) I smote you with barrenness, and

(18) Set your hearts now to think from
this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month,
even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid;

there could be no peace by reason of the affliction to him that went out

(19) And (as he is) sitting on the

(24) So Pilate having seen that he
will gain nothing, but rather (that) a tumult will be made, took water,
washed his hands before the multitude, saying: I am innocent from (the)

(5) It came to pass in the days of
Herod (the) king of Judea, (that) there was a priest, his name being

(17) And he will be first to come

(4) there was an angel (who) came down

(6) And Jesus having seen this (man)
lying (lit. sleeping), and having known that he had been (lit. did) much

who was sick answered him, he said:

(7) My Lord, I have not (a) man, that,

(9) And immediately the man was cured,

(13) But he who was cured was not

place.

(14) And after these (things) Jesus
found him in the temple, and said to him: 'Lo, thou wast cured; sin not
any more, lest greater evil happen to thee.'

(16) Therefore, then, the Jews were

(18) Therefore, then, the Jews were
seeking for him the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking
the sabbath, but he was saying, that God is my Father, making himself
equal with God.

(3) Mary then took a pound of ointment

(12) The multitude then and the

(15) And Simon Peter was walking after
Jesus, and another disciple: now that disciple was (imperf.) known to the

(16) Peter was standing outside by the

(18) Nov the servants and the officers

(12) Because of this (lit. therefore)

out, saying: 'If thou shouldst release this (man), thou (art) not (the)

Pilate commanded to give it. He came then and took away the body of

having come forth, they entered into the ship; and in that night they

Jesus stood on the shore; however the disciples knew not that it was

(7) The disciple whom Jesus loved
(imperf.) said to Peter: It is the Lord.' Simon Peter then having heard
that it was (lit. is) the Lord, girded himself in his clothing, for he
was (imperf.) naked, and threw himself into the sea.

(11) Simon Peter then came up, and he

(17) He said to him again (the) third

(23) And this word came forth among

that he will not die; but if I should wish to leave him until I come,
what is it to thee?

that the world would not be able to contain the books which would have
been (lit. will be) written.

(15) So that they brought out them who
were sick into the streets, and laid them upon beds and resting-places,
that as Petros is to pass by, at the least his shadow may come upon one
of them.

(16) But the multitudes of the cities
which were around Jerusalem were coming, bringing them who were sick, and
them who were vexed with the unclean spirits: but all these are cured
through them.

(21) But having heard, they (rose)
early, they went to the temple, they were teaching. But the chief priest
having risen, and all they who were with him, they assembled to the
council, and all the elders of (the) sons of Israel, and they sent to the
prison-house to bring them.

(19) They indeed then who were

came even unto [the] Phoinikē and Kypros and (the) Antiochia, and spake

Jerusalem to see concerning this question.

(3) They (pron.) indeed then having

making a great joy with all the brethren.

(24) Since we heard that some from us

(25) it seemed good then to us, having

(38) But Paulos was thinking good that
him who separated from them since (the) Pamphylia, and who came not with
them to the work, they should not take with them.

(3) Him Paul wished to come forth with

who were in that place: for they all were knowing that his father was a

called us to preach good tidings to them.

(12) and from there we came to

(13) But on the day of the sabbaths we
came outside of the city by the river, the place (of which) we were
thinking that there would be [a] prayer there. And having sat, we were
speaking to the women who came forth.

(14) And a woman, her name being
Lydia, being a seller of purple, of a city called Thyatērōn, worshipping
God, was hearing. This (one) God opened her heart, to attend to the

But Paulos, having been grieved, and having turned to the spirit, said: I
order thee in (the) name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.' And he came
out in that hour.

(5) But the Jews were jealous, and
they took men, evil, of the baser sort, and having assembled a multitude
they troubled the city, and they came at (the) house of Iassōn seeking
for them that they might bring them out to the multitude.

(12) so that they took handkerchiefs

sicknesses were wont to go from them, and the evil spirits were coming
out.

(13) But some from the Jews who went
about as exorcists took in hand to say (the) name of the Lord Jesus over
them who (had) the evil spirits upon them, saying: I adjure you by (it)
Jesus, whom Paulos proclaimeth.'

(16) And the man with whom the evil
spirit (was) threw himself upon them, he mastered them together, he
prevailed over them, so that they fled from that house naked with their
heads wounded.

(17) But this became manifested to all
the Jews and the Greeks, who dwelt in Ephesos; and a fear came upon them
all, and (the) name of the Lord Jesus Christ was going on (lit. coming)
being exalted.

all: and they took count of their prices, having found them being there
fifty thousand of silver.

(21) But these (things) having been
completed, Paulos purposed in his spirit that, should he pass throughout
(the) Makedonia and [the] Achaia, he might go to Jerusalem, having said:
'After my going there, I must see also Rōmō.

(27) Not only will this trade become
to us for a danger to cause us to come to [a] reproof; but the temple
also of the great goddess [the] Artemis will be no more reckoned

Paulos sent for the disciples and comforted them, he saluted them, he

(6) But we (pron.) after the days of

(7) But on (the) first (lit. one) of
the sabbaths, we having assembled to break [a] bread, Paulos was speaking
to them, being about to come forth on the (lit. his) morrow; but he was
spreading out the word unto midnight.

(9) But a young man was sitting, his
name being Eutychos, upon the window, forgetting (himself) in a deep
(lit. great) sleep; but as Paulos was speaking, the sleep overcame him
more, he fell down from the third storey, and he was taken up dead

(10) But Paulos came down, he threw
himself upon him, and having embraeed him, he said: Trouble not; for his
life (is) in him.'

(11) But having gone up, and having
broken the bread, and having tasted, he prolonged the word until (the)
light came forth, and thus he came forth.

afterwards we came to Milētos.

(16) For Paulos had ordained to sail
past Ephesos, that he might not delay in [the] Asia, for he was hasting,
that, if it were possible, he might spend (the) day of the Pentēcostē in
Jerusalem.

away the girdle of Paulos, he bound his hands and his feet, he said:
These (things) are they which the holy spirit saith: "The man, whose is

(6) But Paulos having known that there
is a part (of them) indeed belonging to the Sadducees, but the other part
belonging to the Pharisees, he cried out in the council, [The] men, our
brethren, I (am) a Pharisee; concerning a hope and a resurrection of the

(10) But a great tumult having
happened, the chiliarchos feared lest by any means Paulos should be
carried (off) by them, he commanded the soldiery that they should go up
and snatch him from their midst, and bring him into the castle.

(14) But I confess this to thee, that
according to this way which these say that (it is a) sect, I worship thus

Phylix having been in [a] fear answered: Go away, now; but should I have

Paulos will give money (plug.) to him; and thus that he might release
him. Therefore he was sending for him many times, speaking to him.

wishing to give a favour to the Jews, left Paulos bound.

but to the Jews I did not any wrong, as thou also knowest perfectly.

(11) If then I do wrong, and if I did

not anything in the things which these accuse me, it is not possible for
any to grant me to them, I appeal to (the) king.'

Phēstos laid (the) Matthewter of Paulos before (the) king, saying: There

his defence concerning the fault.

(1) But it came to pass (that), it
having been decided for us to sail to [the] Hytalia, he delivered Paulos
and other prisoners to a centurion, his name being Ioulios, from the band
of Sabastē.

Andramantinean, about to sail to the places of [the] Asia, we put to sea,
being with us Aristarchos also of (the) Makedonia, the native of
Thessalonikē.

commanded him to go unto his friends, that they might take care of him.

days, and having scarcely come off Chnidos, the wind not letting us,
[but] we sailed along [the] Krētē off Salmonē;

(9) But great time having passed, and
already it was no longer (the) time of sailing, for the ship had gone out
of her course, because that the fast also had passed. But Paulos was
exhorting,

freight, but also our lives, in this voyage.

the steersman and the shipowner rather than the things which Paulos was
saying.

(12) But the harbour not being (well)
placed for us to winter in, most of them made a plan to put out from
there, that perhaps they could reach Phoinix to winter in, harbour of
[the] Krētē, looking westward, being a place of Chōra.

put to sea from Asses, they left [the] Krētē.

'Eurakylōn,' delayed not, it blew against us.

(17) this having been taken away, they
were making help, girding the ship; but fearing lest by any means they
should fall into the Sirtēs, we lowered the gear, and thus we floated
along.

exceedingly, [but] on the (lit. his) morrow they were tossing out (the

out.

(20) But as appear not (the) sun and
the stars for many days, no small tempest being that which was happening,
at length all our hope for us to be saved had gone.

happens. Then stood Paulos in their midst, he said: Ye ought indeed, O

gain this injury and this loss.

(41) But having fallen on a place,
being of two seas, they ran the ship aground thither; and the fore(part)
of it indeed was fixed, it stayed, not moving, but the hinder (part) of
it was destroyed by (the) violence of the waves.

that they should kill the prisoners, lest by any means one should swim

(43) But the centurion, wishing to
save Paulos, hiddered them from doing their plan: But he commanded those
for whom it was possible that they should support themselves on the sea,
and swim first to the shore:

were doing a kindness with us not a little: for having kindled a fire,
they received us all, because of the rain which was happening, and
because of the cold.

from the heat came out a viper, it bit his hand.

(4) But the barbarians having seen the

(6) But they (pron.) were thinking
that he will swell or will fall immediately and die: but having waited,
gazing at him, and having seen that no evil thing seized him, they turned
themselves immediately, saying that he was a god.

(7) But in that place there were many
fields of the first (man) of the island, his name being Pouplios: this
(man) having taken us up, received us in a love of hospitality three

(8) But it came to pass (that) the

prostrate under them. But this (man)--Paulos went in unto him, he prayed,
he laid his hands upon him, he healed him.

(10) But these honoured us in great
honour, and when we were about to be brought from there, they prepared
for us that of which we had need.

courage.

days (that) he called the first (men) of the Jews who were there: but
they having come thither, he was saying to them, I, [the] men, our
brethren, did not anything in opposition to the people or the customs of
our fathers, I was bound, from Jerusalem I was delivered to (the) hands

it was necessary for me to appeal to (the) king, not as that there is

(25) For there is profit in [the]

is from God.

(5) But he who worketh not, but is

(9) This blessedness then was it put
upon (the) circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision? For we say that
(the) faith of Abraam was reckoned to him for [a] righteousness.

(10) How then was it reckoned? when he
was in (the) circumcision, or when he was in the uncircumcision? Not when
he was in (the) circumcision, but in the uncircumcision:

(11) and he received a sign (namely)
of (the) circumcision, a seal of the righteousness, of (the) faith which
was in the uncircumcision; to cause him to be father of all a who

reckoned to them;

(12) and father of (the) circumcision,
not of them only who are of (lit. from) (the) circumcision, but also (of)
those who walk in the footsteps of (the) faith which was in the
uncircumcision of our father Abraam.

(13) For not through the law was the
promise given to Abraam, or his seed to cause him to be heir of the
world, but through the righteousness of (the) faith.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅) ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ

(14) For if through (the) law they
were the heirs; then the faith became void, and the promise was made
useless:

(15) for (the) law worked (an) anger;
but where there is not law, neither is there transgression.

(16) Therefore (it is) through (a)
faith; that (it may be) according to (a) grace, to cause the promise to
be confirmed to all the seed, not only that which is of (lit. from) the
law, but also that which is of (lit. from) (the) faith of Abraam, who is
father of us all.

(13) neither present your members

(19) A human thing I say, because of

thus also now present your members servants to the righteousness [up]

(2) For the woman under husband is
bound to her husband who liveth, in the law. But if the husband should
die she is discharged (lit. done away with) from (the) law of the

(3) So then while the husband liveth
they call her 'adulteress,' should she be with another husband; but if
the husband should die, she is free from (the) law, not to be called

(The) law is (the) sin. It shall not be. But (the) sin I had not known,

except (the) law said: Thou shalt not lust';

(13) The good then became for me unto

(the) sin might be more sinful (lit. sinner) through the commandment.

(2) for the law of the spirit of (the)

(3) For (as for) the impotence of the
law, with (lit. in) which it was being weak through the flesh,--God sent
his Son in a likeness of flesh of (the) sin, and because of (the) sin he
condemned (the) sin in (the) flesh:

(5) For they who are according to

spirit think the things of the spirit.

(6) For (the) thought of the flesh is

peace:

(7) because (the) thought of the flesh
is enmity unto God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor is it
possible for it:

(9) But ye (pron ) were not being in
(the) flesh, but in the spirit, if there is the (lit. a) spirit of God
dwelling in you. But he in whom the spirit of Christ dwelleth not, that
one (lit. this who is there) is not of him.

(10) But if Christ (is) in you the
body indeed is dead because of sin; but the spirit is [a] life because of
[the] righteousness.

(11) But if the spirit of him who
raised Jesus from them who are dead dwelleth in you, then he who raised
Christ Jesus from them who are dead shall make live your bodies also,
which die, through his spirit which dwelleth in you.

(12) So then, my brethren, we are not

ye will live.

(20) But thus I was loving to preach
good tidings where (the) name of Christ was not said, that I might not
build upon another man's (lit. a stranger) foundation;

(26) For they of (the) Macedonia and

saints who are in Jerusalem.

(27) For they were well pleased (to do
it), and the others (lit. they) are their debtors. For if the Gentiles
share with them in a spiritual (thing), they ought to minister to them in
the carnal (things) also:
(ⲕ̅ⲏ̅) ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲕϥ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ

(28) should I then fulfil this, and
seal this fruit to them, I shall go through you unto [the] Spania.

(10) I beseech you, then, my brethren,
through (the) name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all (may) be saying

(12) But this I say, that each one of

(13) Christ was divided. Was Paul

(17) For Christ sent me not to
baptise, but to preach good tidings, not in a wisdom of word, that the
cross of Christ should not become vain.

(18) For the word of the cross to them
indeed who will perish is a foolishness, but to us (pronoun) namely those
who will be saved it is [a] power of God.

(19) For it is written: I shall (lit.

(20) Where was a wise man? Where was a
scribe? Where was a searcher of this age? Did not God make (the) wisdom
of the world foolish?

(21) For since from the wisdom of God
the world knew not God through the wisdom, God was well pleased through
the foolishness of the proclaiming to save them who believe.

(22) Since the Jews ask signs, and the
Greeks seek for the wisdom:

(23) but we (pron.) proclaim Christ
crucified: the Jews indeed it is a scandal to them, but (to) the Gentiles
it is a foolishness;

(24) but to us (pron.), namely those
who will be saved, the Jews and the Greeks, Christ is a power of God and
a wisdom of God.

(25) Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than [the] men, and the weakness of God is stronger than [the] men.

(26) For see your calling, my

many noble:

(27) but the fools of the world God
chose, that he might put to shame the wise; and God chose the weaknesses
of the world, that he might put to shame the strong;

(28) and the ignobilities of the
world, and them who are despised, God chose, and them who are not, that
he might do away with them who are:

(30) From him (are) ye also in Christ

many, but it is one body; thus Christ also.

(3) And this I wrote, that, should I
come to you again, I might not receive grief of them by whom I ought to
rejoice. Being persuaded of (lit. upon) you all, that my joy is that of

(2) but we leave the hidden things of
(the) shame. We walk not in [a] craftiness, and we use not subtlety in

ourselves to every conscience of [the] men before God.

shine in (the) darkness,' which is this which shone in our hearts for a

Christ:

(1) But I show to you, my brethren,
the grace of God which was given to me in the churches of (the)
Macedonia;

(2) that in a great proof of a
tribulation, the abundance of their joy and (the) depth of their poverty
abounded into the riches of their singleness.

(3) I witness that according to their
power and beyond their power, they acted of their own readiness,
(ⲇ̅) ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛ̀ϯϩⲟ

(4) they prayed us in a great
beseeching concerning the grace, and the fellowship of the ministry which
is done to the saints:

(5) and not according as we hoped, but
they were beforehand in giving themselves to the Lord, and to us also
through the will of God.

(6) So that we besought Titos, that
according as be began from (the) first' thus he might complete this grace
also in you.

(7) But according as ye abound in
everything, in the faith, and the word, and the knowledge, and all
earnestness, and the love which is in you from us, that ye may abound in
this grace also.
(ⲏ̅) ⲛⲁⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ

(8) I was not saying it according to
commandment, but through the earnestness of others, I approved (the)
choiceness of your love also.

(9) For ye know the grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that he became poor because of you, being rich, that ye
also in (the) poverty of him (that one) might become rich.
(ⲓ̅) ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ϯϯ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ

ⲛ̀ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉ̀ⲣⲟϥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲥⲛⲟⲩϥ
(10) And in this I give an opinion:
for this is profitable to you, who not only the thing to do, but the wish
also ye were beforehand in beginning a year ago.
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅) ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲉ̀ⲁⲓϥ ϫⲟⲕϥ

ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ
(11) But now the thing also to do,
fulfil; that according as the readiness of the wish, thus also may be the
fulfilment, according to that which each one hath.
(ⲓ̅ⲃ̅) ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ϥϣⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ
ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϥ ϥϣⲏⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ̀ⲧⲁϥ ⲁⲛ
(12) For if the readiness exists,
according to that which he hath he is accepted, not according to that
which he hath not.
(ⲓ̅ⲅ̅) ⲟⲩⲭⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲧⲟⲛ

(13) For not that a relief might be to
others and a tribulation to you, but that an equality might be in this
present time.
(ⲓ̅ⲇ̅) ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ

(14) That your abundance may be for
(the) deficiency of those, and the abundance of those may be for your
deficiency, that there may be an equality:
(ⲓ̅ⲉ̅) ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩⲟ
ⲙ̀ⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϧⲁⲉ
(15) according as it is written, 'He
of the abundance abounded not, and he of the little was not in want.'
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅) ⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̀ⲫϯ ϣⲏⲡ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϯ

(16) But thanks be to God, he (lit.
this) who gave the same earnestness for you in (the) heart of Titos.
(ⲓ̅ⲍ̅) ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲱⲧ ⲛ̀ϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥϭⲓⲧϥ ⲉϥⲓⲏⲥ
ⲇⲉ ⲛ̀ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉ̀ⲓ̀ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⲛ̀ϩⲏⲧ
(17) Because he received indeed the
exhortation, but being more in haste to come to you in his readiness of
heart,
(ⲓ̅ⲏ̅) ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ

(18) we sent the other brother with
him, he (lit. this) whose praise in the Gospel through all the churches;

(19) but not only (so), but also
having had hand laid upon him by the churches, to travel with us in this
grace, this which was ministered by us unto [a] glory of the Lord and our
readiness of heart:

(20) withdrawing ourselves from this,
that any one should [not] blame us in this amount which is ministered by
us:

(21) for we take care for good things,
not only before the Lord, but also before [the] men.

(22) But we sent our brother also with
them, he (lit. this) whom we approved in many things many times to be
(lit. being) earnest, but now more eager (lit. hasting) in a great
confidence which there is (to him) in you.

(23) Whether (any enquire) about
Titos, (he is) my friend and fellow worker for (lit. into) you: or our
brethren, they are apostles of the churches, (the) glory of Christ.

the churches.

(1) For indeed concerning the
ministration which they do for the saints, this is superfluous for me to
write to you:

(2) for I know your readiness, this of
which I make (a) boast about you to them of (the) Macedonia, that they of
[the] Achaia prepared themselves a year ago; but your zeal gave zeal to
very many of them.
(ⲅ̅) ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̀ⲛⲓⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ

(3) But we sent the brethren to you,
that our boast which we make about you, may not be empty in this respect;
that, according as I was saying, ye might be prepared:
(ⲇ̅) ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛⲓ̀ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲛⲁ

(4) lest by any means should they of
(the) Macedonia come with me, and find you not prepared, we (pron.) might
be ashamed, that we should not say, Ye,' in this measure.
(ⲉ̅) ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲉⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲓⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲉ̀ⲣⲟϥ ⲉ̀ⲑⲉⲧ

(5) I thought it necessary then to
exhort the brethren, that they should come before to you, and prepare
before your blessing, which ye promised beforehand, that it might be
prepared, but thus as [a] beneficence and not (as) extortion.
(ⲋ̅) ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧϯⲁⲥⲟ ⲉϥⲥⲓϯ

(6) But this it is, that he who is
sparing (in) sowing shall reap also sparingly; and he who soweth
beneficently shall reap also beneficently:
(ⲍ̅) ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲡ

(7) each one according as he chose for
himself in his heart, not grudgingly or from a 'necessity: for a
rejoicing giver (it is) whom God loveth.

ⲛ̀ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛ̀ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ
(8) But it is possible for God to make
all grace multiply to you, that (the) sufficiency, being to you in
everything always, ye may abound in every good thing:
(ⲑ̅) ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲣ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ

distributed, he gave to the pool; his righteousness abideth for ever.'

(10) But he who supplieth, the seed to
him who soweth shall supply the bread also to him for [an] eating; and he
shall cause your plants to grow; he shall cause them to grow, namely the
fruits of your righteousness:
(ⲓ̅ⲁ̅) ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⲛ̀ⲣⲁⲙⲁⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ

(12) Because this ministration of this
service not only is (at work) filling up the wants of the saints [only],
but also aboundeth through many thanksgivings to God;

(13) through the proof of this
ministration. Ye are glorifying God for the subjection of your confession
unto the Gospel of Christ, and the singleness of the fellowship with them

aboundeth in you.

they (pron.) in themselves are measuring themselves, and are comparing
themselves with themselves, and are not understanding.

canon which God ordained to us, to cause us to reach unto it in a
measure, and one as far as you.

things which are greater than those, not in a canon of other men (and) to
boast ourselves of the things which were prepared.

the serpent deceived Eva in his craftiness, your thoughts may be
corrupted from the singleness and the pureness which is in Christ.

(6) But from them who think that they
(lit. we) are (something); as to the manner of which they once were, it
makes not any difference to me: God accepteth not person of man. For
they, who think that they (lit. we) are something, added not anything to

Gave the right hand to me and Barnabas unto [a] fellowship, that we

from the works of the law will no flesh be justified.

having been confirmed before by God, (the) law which happened after four
hundred (and) thirty years dissolveth it not, to cause it to do away with
the promise.

(19) What then is (the) law? It was
given because of the transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom
he promised; having been ordained through angels, in (the) hand of a

possible for it to give life, certainly [the] righteousness would have
been from the law.

(13) For not even themselves also, who

circumcision, that they may boast themselves in your flesh.

(14) But it shall not be to me (pron.)
that I should boast myself, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
he (lit. this) through whom the world was crucified to me, and I also was
crucified to the world.

we rejoice for you before our God;

(2) to whom Abraam divided (a) tenth

'(the) king of [the] peace';

(3) fatherless, motherless (he) is,
not a word as to generation is (there) of his; he hath not beginning of

(4) But see how great is this (one),
to whom Abraam gave (a) tenth from the choice things of his, the
patriarch.

(5) And they indeed from the sons of
Levi, about to receive the priesthood, have commandment delivered unto
them to receive (a) tenth from the people according to the law, who are
their brethren, although they came from the loins of Abraam:
(ⲋ̅) ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙ̀ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉ̀ϫⲱⲟⲩ

(6) for he whose generation from them
was not spoken of, received (a) tenth from Abraam, and he blessed him who
had the promises.

(9) And as to say a word, because of
Abraam, Levi also indeed, who was (to) receive tenths, gave (a) tenth;

(11) If indeed then (the) completion
was being through the priesthood of the Levite; for law was given to the
people in its time; then what was (the) need for there to be another
priest according to (the) order of Melchisedek, and not to say,
'According to (the) order of Aaron?'

(12) For the priesthood being about to
be removed, necessarily there is a removing of the law also.

(13) For he concerning whom these
things are said belonged to another tribe, that (lit. this) from which no
one attended at the altar.

(14) For it is manifest from (the)
first, that our Lord sprang from Jouda; that tribe from which Moses said
not anything concerning priest.

(15) And it is yet even the more

priest.

(16) He who was made not according to
a law of a carnal commandment, but according to a power of an
indissoluble life.

unprofitableness,

(19) for the law completed not
anything. A way of coming in is this, of a better (lit. chosen) hope,
this through which we shall (lit. will) draw near unto God;

(20) and according as it is not
without oath. For those indeed were made priest without oath,

Jesus (the) surety of a better (lit. chosen) covenant which was
established with law upon better (chosen) promises.

(26) otherwise he ought to have
suffered many times from (the) foundation of the world: but now once at

and he esteemed (the) blood of the covenant that it is unclean, that in
which he was sanctified, and he insulted the spirit of the grace?

(4) But [the] patience--let a complete
work be in it (sc. patience), that ye may be complete and sound, and that
ye may not be deficient of anything.

(5) But if there is one among you
deficient of wisdom, let him ask from God, who giveth to all simply,
reproaching not; and it shall be given to him.

(6) But let him ask in [a] faith,

taking them and bringing them.

(11) For (the) sun arose with the
scorching heat and dried the grass; and its flower fell off, but (the)
beauty of its face perished: thus also the rich in all his ways will
wither.

(12) Blessed is the man who will
endure in a temptation, because, should he be a chosen (one), he will
receive the crown of (the) life, which he promised to them who will love

(13) Let not any one say, being
tempted, that it is God who tempteth me: for God tempteth not in evil
things, but he (pron.) tempteth not any one:

(14) but each one is being tempted by
his own lust drawing him and enticing him.

bringeth forth (the) sin: but (the) sin should it be completed begetteth
(the) death.
(ⲓ̅ⲋ̅) ⲙ̀ⲡⲉⲣⲥⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ

(17) All good gifts and all complete
gifts are from above, coming below from the Father of the lights, with
whom there is not change, nor a form of a shadow which passed.

(23) He who is a listener of the word,
and not a worker, [this] was like to a man who beheld (the) face of his
birth in a mirror:

(25) But he who gazed at (the) law
which is complete of the freedom, and stayed in it, he is not (a)
forgetful hearer, but (a) doer of the work, this (one) shall be blessed
in that which he doeth.

(26) But he who thinketh that he is a
server (of God), bridling not his tongue, but he deceived his heart,
(the) service of this (one) is vain.

(27) But the pure service and

(2) For if a man cometh into your

(1) That which was (ET) from (the)
beginning, that which we heard, that which we saw with our eyes, that
which we gazed at, and our hands handled, concerning the word of (the)

(2) and the life was manifested, and
we saw it, and we witness, and we show to you the eternal life, that
which was with the Father, and it was manifested to us;

that your joy may be complete.

(5) And this is the promise which we
heard from him; we proclaim it to you, that God is [a] light, and there
is not any darkness in him.

(6) If we should say that we have a
fellowship with him, and are walking in the darkness, we are saying
false, and we do not (the) truth:

(7) if we should walk in the light, as
he also walketh in the light, we have a fellowship with one another, and

(8) If we should say that we have not
sin, we deceive ourselves, and (the) truth is not in us.

(9) If we should confess our sins, he
is faithful and is righteous that he should forgive us our sins, and he
will cleanse us from all wrongdoing.

(1) My children, these things I write

(5) he who will keep his word, truly
the love of God was completed in this (one). In this we shall (lit. will)

(11) He who hateth his brother was in
the darkness, and he walked in the darkness, and he knoweth not whither
he walked. Because the darkness blinded his eyes.
